COBBLED streets, vintage shops, pubs with roaring fires all surrounded by rolling countryside hills – you’ll find it all in this Yorkshire village.
There’s no better time to visit than autumn, as the whole village gets a seasonal overhaul with huge shop displays and twinkling lights for the dark evenings.
The West Yorkshire village called Haworth has absolutely everything associated with autumn from cobbled streets to charming cottages and cosy cafes.
Main Street is full of independent shops – and was previously named as one of the most beautiful streets in the UK.
It gets a makeover for autumn with plenty of pumpkins, orange lights and leafy displays around shop entrances.
Popular stores include Mrs Beighton’s Sweet Shop which has over 500 varieties of sweets, Haworth Wholefoods for local artisan bread, and The Cabinet of Curiosities that’s filled with candles, oils and bubbling cauldron bath bombs.
Other shops include Oh La La Vintage for items from the 1920s onwards, and Chocolate for sweet treats, along with galleries and bookshops.
For pubs, there’s the Fleece Inn which serves up homemade pies and Whitby scampi sold alongside its range of ales.
Rooms are available to book too with the double room with a walk-in shower available from £145 (£72.50pp) – a single room can be booked from £60.
If it’s a hot drink in a cafe that you’re after, then head to the Old Post Office for a slice of cake, or a warm Belgian waffle.
The village has caught lots of attention on social media thanks to its autumn feel with some comparing it to Starry Hollow from Gilmore Girls.
One woman who filmed her visit to Haworth on Instagram described it as a “village that feels like it’s been lifted straight out of a storybook”.
Comments on the post read:” Looks magical!” another added “this is so cute! Like you are in a fairytale”.
The town has literature connections too as it was home of the Brontë sisters, who between them wrote books like Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre.
Yorkshire.com explained: “Home of the famous Brontë sisters, Haworth is an undisputed literary mecca, attracting visitors from all around the world.“
“With its historic cobbled Main Street, iconic parsonage and rolling moors, the picturesque proportions of this Airedale village exude a vintage charm that makes you feel you’ve stepped into another era.”
If you want to arrive at the village in a truly Old England way, then there’s a steam train that links the town along the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway.
The train regularly features in films, such as the Railway Children, which was filmed in Haworth.
It has a regular timetable, while special weekend events like like vintage experiences and for autumn, one called The Spooky Express.
