I visited Haworth last August 2005. I had visited it before a few years ago, but it seemed to have Improved since the previous visit. The shops being quite Interesing and varied.
Haworth is the town famous for the Bronte Sisters, who lived at the Parsonage, next to the Church. In fact In the Graveyard, the sisters are buried and the stone can be seen too.
The Parsonage museum is worth a visit and you can view the writings of the Bronte sisters there and learn more of the family history.
The "Black Bull" pub is a feature of the town and was a local haunt of Branwell Bronte.
It is said he still haunts the pub! His chair is still situated there and some say his Ghost has been seen sat in it! It is certainly a pub full of Character, as are most the buildings in the village.
The "Old Apothecary" is an Interesting shop, which sells soaps, lotions and anything scented..in an "Olde Worlde" setting. Even the staff dress up in Victorian clothing!
The town was also used in the Film "The Railway Children"and the Parsonage was the Doctors house in that film. The local Railway station "Oakworth", was the actual location where the Children used to visit and the countryside around it.
The nearby moors were the Inspiration for the book "Wuthering heights" too.
So the area has a lot of History attached to it. The towns main street is on an Incline, so it's wise to be aware of that, should you visit. The streets are also cobbled and hardly changed at all.
