We managed quite a lot of sightseeing this visit, including Haworth, the home of the famous Brontë sisters. Haworth was always a 'must' for any French visitors when we lived in Bingley, and it's still as popular today, particularly as a big TV drama about the sisters was aired that evening.

| Only the tower remains of the original church where the sisters' father was priest |
 |
| Brontë Parsonage on a beautifully crisp December day |
 |
| The graveyard is fascinating. Read about it on http://www.haworth-village.org.uk/history/church/bronte_church.asp |
 |
| Branwell Brontë's local, the Black Bull, conveniently next to the church |
 |
| Down and up the main street, still cobbled as in the old days |
 |
| Local shops make the most of the heritage angle! |
The following week we walked up above Haworth to Brontë Falls with Jim & Les
 |
| We still had beautiful weather, but rather cold I have to say |
 |
| I promise you it isn't Jihadi Dave |
