Description
Join Brontë Stones project creator Michael Stewart for a guided walking tour tracing the footsteps of the Brontë sisters from their birthplace in Thornton village to the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth.
Crossing the stunning Yorkshire landscape, the walk explores specially commissioned responses to the Brontës by celebrated writers like Carol Ann Duffy, Kate Bush, Jackie Kay and Jeanette Winterson.
This nine-mile linear trek takes around five hours and includes narrow styles, uneven ground and slippery surfaces.
Appropriate footwear and weatherproof clothing are essential. Participants should also bring a packed lunch and plenty of water for a picnic stop along the route.
