Whether you’re a Brontë fan, a film lover or simply seeking a short break surrounded by breathtaking scenery, this two-day itinerary offers the perfect escape.

The Brontë Sisters and their Yorkshire Connections

Although “Wuthering Heights” is famously rooted in West Yorkshire - and now, the Yorkshire Dales, the Brontë sisters also have a meaningful connection to Scarborough. Anne Brontë, author of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Agnes Grey, loved the seaside town and set parts of her writing along the Yorkshire coast. She spent her final days in Scarborough where she passed away in 1849, and her grave remains in St Mary’s Churchyard overlooking the sea - the only Brontë to be buried outside Haworth.
