Discover the places that shaped Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë on a private, full-day driven tour from York for up to four guests.

The day begins in Knaresborough, with views over the River Nidd and its famous railway viaduct, the castle area and, when access allows, the Chapel of Our Lady of the Crag, carved into the rock above the river. From there you head west into the Pennines to Haworth, where there is time to wander the cobbled Main Street, have lunch, visit the church and explore around the Brontë Parsonage, the family home where the sisters wrote their novels.

The day finishes on Penistone Hill, with wide views across the moors that inspired Wuthering Heights, before the drive back to York. The tour lasts around eight hours, with your own local driver-guide and plenty of stories about the Brontës and the landscape around them.

Good to know

• Private tour for up to four guests – no strangers, no coach.
• Pick-up and return from your York hotel, accommodation or an agreed York-area meeting point.
• Brontë Parsonage Museum admission is optional and paid separately; other entry fees, food and drink are not included.
• Stops involve short walks, and Haworth’s Main Street is steep and cobbled. This is a sightseeing day rather than a hike. If anyone in your group has mobility or access needs, please get in touch before booking.
