If the sight of Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie roaming the Yorkshire moors has inspired a dramatic getaway, look no further. Here is your stylish guide to Brontë country (moody Heathcliff optional).

For accuracy, head to Holdsworth House, where Elordi, Robbie, and the crew stayed during the filming of Wuthering Heights, just outside Halifax. This beautiful stone hotel is a Grade II-listed 17th-century Jacobean manor. It even offers a “Brontë break,” which includes breakfast, tickets to the Brontë Parsonage, and a hand-drawn walking guide to Haworth. After your heart-stirring sightseeing, indulge in the kind of rest and relaxation Cathy would have wept for. The new Farmhouse treatment rooms use the Irish luxury skincare brand Ground Wellbeing, with 100% vegan, plant-based formulations. Then, dine like the Earnshaws with an eight-course tasting menu—featuring foraged wild mushrooms and Yorkshire venison—under the cozy restaurant’s original beamed ceilings beside a roaring fire.

Haworth is a 20-minute drive through the Pennines. At the top of its cobbled high street sits the Brontë Parsonage, where Charlotte, Anne, and Emily lived with their brother Branwell. Next door is St. Michael and All Angels Church, where their father Patrick was curate, and its deeply atmospheric graveyard. Charlotte and Emily are buried in the family vault inside the church, which also displays Charlotte’s marriage certificate—listing her with no profession, despite her fame as the author of Jane Eyre.

The house itself feels hauntingly similar to when the family lived there. The front parlor is arranged as if they had just stepped away from tea, while the small dining table where they worked is scattered with writing blocks, ink, newspapers, cups, and saucers. Tragedy, too, is close at hand: against the wall is the sofa where Emily died of tuberculosis at age 30.

Upstairs, you’ll find everyday ephemera: letters, Emily’s christening mug and diary, Charlotte’s small writing desk, dress, and bonnet, as well as a re-creation of Branwell’s messy bedroom, as if he had just stumbled out to the Black Bull pub to drink himself into oblivion (the pub he frequented still stands in town). The museum also displays film posters and memorabilia from every on-screen adaptation of the sisters’ works—a riveting look at the range of interpretations, especially in light of the debate over Emerald Fennell’s version.

After taking all that in, you’ll probably need a sit-down. Haworth is adorable chocolate-box Yorkshire; its high street is lined with old-fashioned sweet shops, second-hand stores full of books and trinkets, and stylish modern spots. For the goth-inclined, The Cabinet of Curiosities offers mock-antiquated vials of perfume, candles, and other toiletry potions (fit for Thrushcross Grange). For homeware enthusiasts, Hawksby’s features a charming curation of British-made pieces, including abstract ceramics by Creatively Occupied and striking color-blocked fabric jewelry by Lynsey Walter.

You won’t find a better brunch than at the Haworth Old Post Office, where the sisters once mailed their manuscripts. The cozy, dark-wood interior is a historic snug; choose from a traditional breakfast with delicious smoky beans or a selection of small plates like maple-baked figs, baked goat’s cheese, and harissa hummus. Top it off with a caramel hot chocolate to fortify yourself for a wander onto the moors.

From Haworth, you can hike a portion of the 43-mile-long Brontë Way (for serious enthusiasts), which runs from Oakwell Hall near Batley (the inspiration for Fieldhead in Charlotte Brontë’s Shirley).For a taste of the beautifully desolate moors the Brontës roamed, where they conjured their passionate tales, follow the trail up to Penistone Hill for dramatic views over the town. You can also visit the Brontë waterfall (more of a gentle stream in reality) and continue on to the romantically desolate ruins of Top Withens, often suggested as inspiration for the setting of Wuthering Heights. It’s the perfect spot to call out your best Yorkshire accent with a heartfelt, “Cathy!”
