Here is a selection of photos from the delightful trip to Haworth that members of the Brussels Brontë Group took in June 2025, taking in the Parsonage Museum and the surrounding Brontë Country, including stops at the Brontë Birthplace in Thornton and Roe Head School in Mirfield.
Led by the tireless Helen MacEwan and Joanne Wilcock, the group visited Oakwell Hall in Birstall and Shibden Hall in Halifax, and some members even trekked over the moors to Top Withens. There was also an expedition to Scarborough on the Yorkshire coast, where Anne Brontë is buried.
