This is a guide to exploring the landscape around Haworth, which
straddles a series of fine hillsides around the Worth, Sladen and
Bridgehouse valleys. There is far more to the area’s history than its
famous Brontë connections and this guide provides a wealth of
information about the mills, bridges, rivers, dams and rich wildlife to
be discovered.
The four short routes described here all start in Haworth and are
between 2½-5 miles long. They shine a light on different aspects of the
landscape – as well as the popular walk to the Brontë Falls, the walks
take in the moors of Brow Moor and Penistone Hill, and the many delights
of the Worth, Sladen and Bridgehouse valleys.
