Bronte Country

Bronte Country www.visitbrontecountry.com (also spelled Brontë Country) is a compact literature-inspired region of moorland and villages in West Yorkshire, the area in which the three Brontë sisters - Charlotte, Anne and Emily - grew up and from which they drew much of their inspiration. The appeal of the area is more than literary, however....

  • Keighley - the largest town within the region
  • Oakworth
  • Oxenhope
  • Thornton - 4 miles west of Bradford, birthplace of the Brontë Sisters
