The 45 mile Bronte Way enjoys an absorbing theme, linking a host of locations associated with the lives of the Bronte family. The route stretches from Oakwell Hall near Birstall in Yorkshire to Gawthorpe Hall near Padiham in Lancashire. Despite the exemplary theme, walkers with absolutely no interest in the Brontes will still find this a facinating and thoroughly enjoyable walk.

This well illustrated and concisely described guide leads along every step of the route, with the addition of several recommended detours. Additional information on points of interest along the way is included together with essential practical information. Sketch maps are really for planning, and the author suggests that the relevant OS maps are necessary for reliable navigation on the moors. The relevent maps are Explorer 188 and Outdoor Leisure 21, which cover the entire route.

The Bronte Way provides highly accessible walking through the heart of the Pennines, with the moorland village and literary shrine of Haworth at the centre of an exploration of the celebrated 'Bronte Country'.
