Haworth Parsonnage – home of the Bronte family:\u00a0 On April 1st-2nd, a few Staffordshire Uni English and Creative Writing students went on a trip to Haworth.\u00a0 On the Saturday we visited Haworth Parsonnage, home of the Bronte Family.\u00a0 On the Sunday we walked a total of 9 miles along the Pennine Way to Top Within: this now ruined farmhouse is said to have been the inspiration for the house called Wuthering Heights in Emily’s novel of the same name.\u00a0 Well worth it – and we had a lovely fine day.\u00a0 With thanks to Cathryn Hurd for many of these photos and for driving us!<\/p>\n

Getting into the Victorian vibe – what a lovely couple!<\/p>\n

Setting off on a ramble up the Pennine Way towards Top Withen (why does this remind me a bit of the Tellytubbies…?).<\/p>\n

Approaching Bronte Bridge<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gaining a little altitude – almost there!<\/p>\n
