* 17th March - we have closed the museum due to the C-19 outbreak. Check website for the latest information.* The Bronte Parsonage is the former home of the world's most famous literary family and the place where Charlotte, Emily and Anne wrote some of the greatest novels in the English Language. The house evokes the atmosphere of the Brontes' time and offers visitors an unique insight into their day - to - day lives and varied interests. The rooms the Brontes' used are largely unchanged and are filled with a world-class collection of furniture, clothes and personal possessions. Whether you are a fan of the Brontes' writing or simply intrigued by remarkable people and their stories, you will find visiting the Parsonage an absorbing and unforgettable experience. The museum offers an ever-changing programme of exhibitions, events, and activities for the whole family. Listed opening hours reflect first and last entry to the Museum (Last entry 4.30, shop remains open until 5.00pm).

This is an excellent museum to visit - and not just for Bronte fans - there is plenty to see and occupy the visitor for hours. Bronte fans will find it exceptional - there are many personal items belonging to the Bronte's to look at - its so inspiring and the staff are really passionate about the place - and really helpful too. The surrounding area is good to explore too - including a walk on the moors.

Imagine stepping 400 years back in time into the home of a 17th-century cloth merchant. See the changes that he made and discover why these were sadly never completed. Take a step away from the hectic everyday and experience the tranquillity that is East Riddlesden Hall. In contrast to the atmospheric exterior, this friendly house is brought to life through stories told by room guide volunteers. The house is home to a wonderful array of seventeenth century needlework and original exquisite plasterwork ceilings created by local craftsmen.

Beautifully landscaped park with lovely water features. The museum is free and well worth a visit. The house itself is stunning and retains its original furnishings. The museum has an extensive rock collection plus works of art and objects from local industrial history. The newly renovated cafe offers really yummy freshly baked home made cakes plus a selecion of food and drink and ice creams. The park houses small animals such as birds and rabbits which seem to be very popular with children and also a greenhouse with a collection of interesting plants and cacti. There is also a playground for the children. The park has lots of events throughout the year such as concerts and a garden party so it's worth checking on line to see what's going on. Last year I attended a free willow weaving course which was amazing and we got to take home the things we made. I would say cliffe castle is the best feature of the town and not to be missed.

A bracing walk over a lovely moorland, passing the Bronte falls and bridge, a small part of the way we were followed by a little Grouse that made its rather strange territorial squawk, very well signposted round trip

We just spent a fair few hours around the village and to the abbey, unfortunately due to Covid at the minute it’s just the grounds and cloisters open. What was open was really interesting and beautiful. We also spotted all but one of the locations where Harry Potter was filmed.
