This 2.5 mile / 4 kms (one-way!) walk to the inspiration for Emily Bronte's sole novel, Wuthering Heights (1847), as Top Withens (sometimes Top Withins, even Top o' the Withins).


TV Presenter, Geoff Druett follows the footpath by Lower Laithe reservoir (about 2 miles from Haworth, by the access track), first to the Bronte Chair and Bronte waterfall. From there it's a steep and sometimes muddy walk up to the lonely farmhouse (the Pennine Way crosses the moors nearby).


Excerpts are read from Wuthering Heights.
