This remote farmhouse is said to have inspired Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights

The camera quality and portable nature of modern phones means for many, snapping a top-notch picture whilst on the go can be done at the drop of a hat.

This image was taken by one of The Yorkshire Post photographers Bruce Rollinson using an iPhone. It shows the beautiful view at Top Withens near Haworth.

The remote, now-ruined West Yorkshire farmhouse is said to have been the inspiration for Emily Brontë’s renowned novel Wuthering Heights.

Every year thousands of visitors to Haworth, where the Bronte sisters once lived, make their way from the village to see the site.

According to tourism organisation Visit Bradford, such is the attraction to Japanese literary tourists that some footpath signs in the area include directions in Japanese.

A Brontë Society plaque, dated 1964, was placed at the site in response to “many inquiries” about the farmhouse’s reported association with the Earnshaw family home in Emily’s Wuthering Heights.

It reads: “The buildings, even when complete, bore no resemblance to the house she described but the situation may have been in her mind when she wrote of the moorland setting on the heights.”

The location is one of many Brontë attractions in the area, including the Brontë Waterfalls and the Brontë Bridge, considered to be one of the sisters’ favourite places.

Haworth is also home to the Brontë Parsonage Museum, in what was the family’s house from 1820 to 1861.

Brontë collections there are the largest and most important in the world and continue to inspire scholars, writers and artists across the globe.

As for Haworth itself, its renown is largely thanks to the Brontë sisters.

But with quaint independent shops, dramatic moorland, cobbled streets and the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway also passing through, it makes a picturesque day out for tourists and walkers, literary lovers or not.
