Next Walk : Saturday 13th June 2026 : Haworth
Our walks in June are lead by Alan and Andrea, starting from Haworth in Yorkshire.
A walk (9.8 miles)
The A walk starts in the centre of Howarth. The group will gradually ascend a good path passing by Lower Laithe resevoir and on to Bronte falls. From here
the walk continues up to Top Withins (said to be the inspiration for Wuthering Heights) and highest point of the walk.After leavingTop Withins the group will descend and pass by Leeshaw Resevoir following a farmers track. This will lead us back into the cobbled main street
of Howarth. Sections of the walk are muddy and care must be taken. Total height gain 1400 ft and length of walk 9.8 miles.B walk (7 miles)
The B Walk takes a route from Haworth Village via the Bronte Way to the Brontë Waterfall. The path drops to a small valley and we cross the old stone bridge and climb to Top Withens, an old ruined farmhouse with huge views over the classic heather moor. We then descend towards Stanbury with wide views over the Worth Valley, passing Lower Lathe Reservoir and the open quarry-scarred landscape of Penistone Hill before returning to Haworth.
A distance of 7 miles with well marked and easy to follow paths over moorland tracks and stone paths with some rocky section attaining the same height gain as the A walk.
Howarth is the home of the Bronte Parsonage Museum and the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway also stops in the village. There are lots of independent shops,
cafes and pubs and you can visit with Parish Church where several members of the Bronte family are buried. Altogether a lovely Yorkshire spot for a visit.We are a friendly group and welcome any new walkers wishing to join us.
