I live in Haworth (home of the Brontes) and am involved in scouting. I am also a bell ringer at our local parish church.
I am married to Phil and we have 2 boys (17 & 13) and a dog.
If possible I like scenery,anything scouting, animals or churches and old buildings on postcards, however anything from your local area is great.
About Haworth:
Haworth is a village and tourist attraction, in the English county of West Yorkshire.
With its situation above the Worth Valley amid the bleak Pennine moors, Haworth is internationally famous for its connection with the Brontë sisters, who were born in Thornton, Bradford, but wrote most of their famous novels while living at the Haworth Parsonage (which is now a museum owned and maintained by the Brontë Society), when their father was the parson at the adjacent Haworth church.
Other attractions include the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, an authentic preserved steam railway which has been used as a setting for numerous period films and TV series.
Every year the village also hosts a very special 1940s weekend where locals and visitors don wartime attire for a host of nostalgic events.
Many public footpaths lead out of the village, and there is much scope for rambling, though perhaps the most famous walk leads past Top Withens, a desolate ruin which was (reputedly) the setting for the farmstead Wuthering Heights in the novel.
Haworth is a very popular destination for Japanese tourists. (Wuthering Heights has a cult following in Japan.)
On November 22, 2002, Haworth was granted Fairtrade Village status. On October 21, 2005 Haworth Fairtrade officially signed an agreement to twin with Machu Picchu in Peru.
