Hawksby's

Reviewed By Crispinhj - Skipton, United Kingdom

We come to Haworth a lot, since we moved here a couple of years ago almost every visitor wants us to take them here - usually on the KWVR heritage railway much to my wife's disappointment! This is one of th eplaces we nearly always go to but it's a risky business as there are so many lovely things that it's hard to go out of the shop without spending more than you intended. Artists from the local area or further afield are represented and there is everything, prints, paintings, sculptures and ceramics. Nobody should visit Haworth without calling in

Did a round trek to Top Withins stopping here briefly on the way, Meet 2 walkers coming from the other direction to chat to briefly, but, other than a small chatty grouse that followed us, we were alone in this peaceful environment

Cliffe Castle Museum & Park

Reviewed By ruthcD9844LV - Skipton, United Kingdom

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.

Top Withens

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

Bronte Waterfall

Reviewed By abnation17 - Allen, United States

My 13-year-old daughter and I made this hike one afternoon while staying in Haworth. I believe there are guided tours, but we decided to follow a crowd and do the hike ourselves. The falls are about 2 1/2 miles each way from the parsonage...another mile or 2 to Top Withens...but we didn't go that far. Lovely scenery and peaceful. We went on a partly cloudy day. I would take sturdy shoes and water to drink. It's a little hike but worth the effort!

Haworth Parish Church

Reviewed By jonh196921 - Carlisle, United Kingdom

Visited this church as I believed that I've got ancestors that lived and worked in the Haworth area a couple of hundred years ago,lovely church and well worth a visit,I managed to find one of my ancestors Graves in the churchyard,which was a bit strange as it is so big,but I'll be back there in a couple of weeks to pay my respects again
