In warm, cloudy weather, Tracey led 13 walkers on a 9.5 mile scenic and hilly walk through Brontë Country, a landscape famous for its links with the writings of the Brontë sisters Charlotte, Emily and Anne. Starting from Haworth, the group followed The Brontë Way to Brontë Falls where we paused for a morning break by the stream. From there, a steep climb followed up to Top Withins, a ruined farmhouse, prominent for its association with Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights. After resting and admiring the view, the group descended to Ponden Mill at Ponden Reservoir, then climbed up again along The Millennium Way to Oldfield Lane before returning through Haworth to the start, stopping on the way for drinks at The Old Sun Inn.
