Haworth Moor is a picturesque hill located in Yorkshire, England. Situated near the charming village of Haworth, it is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, offering stunning views and a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

Covering an area of approximately 400 acres, Haworth Moor is a typical example of the rugged beauty of the Yorkshire landscape. Its rolling hills and rocky outcrops are covered in heather and grasses, creating a rich tapestry of colors throughout the year. The moor is also home to a variety of wildlife, including birds of prey, such as kestrels and peregrine falcons, as well as small mammals like rabbits and hares.

Haworth Moor is steeped in history and is often associated with the famous Bronte sisters, who lived in Haworth during the 19th century. It is said that the moorlands surrounding the village provided inspiration for their literary works, including the classic novel "Wuthering Heights." Visitors can explore the Bronte Waterfall, a picturesque cascade located on the edge of the moor, which is said to have been a favorite spot of the sisters.

The moor is crisscrossed with footpaths and trails, making it a popular spot for walkers and hikers. From the summit of Haworth Moor, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, taking in the rolling hills and valleys of the Yorkshire Dales.

Haworth Moor offers a peaceful and idyllic setting, where visitors can immerse themselves in nature and enjoy the beauty of the Yorkshire countryside. Whether it's a leisurely stroll or a challenging hike, this hill provides a memorable experience for all who venture to its heights.

The ruin of Top Withins This modest ruin beside the Pennine Way is the goal of many literary pilgrims (especially Japanese, for some reason). It is probably the place upon which Emily Bronte based the home of the Earnshaw family in Wuthering Heights, although as the plaque makes clear it was not the actual farmhouse. I have submitted it, of course, because my good friend Michael, who allows me to submit his photos, has the same surname.

For a close view of the plaque, see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4991313">SD9835 : Plaque at Top Withens</a>.
