Brontë Country
Brontë Country (pronounced Bron-tay country) is a compact literature-inspired region of moorland and villages in West Yorkshire, the area in which the three Brontë sisters - Charlotte, Anne and Emily - grew up and from which they drew much of their inspiration. The appeal of the area is more than literary, however....
