We have become intrigued by the story of the Bronte family who lived (and died...mostly young) in nearby Haworth. I have particular sympathy for the old man, Reverend Patrick, who outlived his wife and all of his famous children. Today we went for a walk on the moors near Haworth where Emily, Charlotte and Anne are supposed to have gained inspiration for their novels. We even visited Bronte seat, Bronte waterfall and Top Withins, the old house which according to local legend was the inspiration for Wuthering Heights. We walked in pouring rain and bright sunshine during the 4 hour walk.
