Branwell is an 18th century listed stone weaver's holiday cottage set in an attractive courtyard off Haworth’s Main Street. Rich in Bronte literary associations, the cottage is named after the Brontes' brother and is adjacent to the Masonic Lodge he attended. The cottage is an ideal base for moorland walks and a path from the sisters' nearby parsonage home takes you to the ruins of Top Withens, Emily's 'Wuthering Heights'.

Haworth has an abundance of antique and speciality shops, delicious restaurants, traditional cafes and historic pubs. The former home of the Bronte family, where they spent most of their lives and wrote their famous novels now stands as the extremely atmospheric Bronte Parsonage Museum, here you will find a good shop full of literary association items. For steam enthusiasts, the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway stops at Haworth.

Throughout the surrounding areas there are ample, lovely scenic walks where you can stumble across Bronte Waterfall or Ponden Reservoir.
