Haworth, Bronte County

We had hope that we can save some money on accommodation by renting a motor caravan and doing free camping. So after driving 4 hours from Cambridge the previous day, we decided to do try some free camping along a driveway. Anyway we were too tired to hunt for a caravan site which was invariably in some ulu locality.

It was quite an experience as we couldn’t really find a place we think is safe. We actually spent 2 hours searching for a good place to park for the night. It was either too quiet, too open or at some places downright eerie. At least we concluded that we should not try any free camping unless absolutely necessary. The Caravan Site is a place where we can park for the night with a peace of mind.

Fortunately, nothing eventful happened the previous night and we woke up in the Yorkshire morning rain, ready to explore Haworth, Bronte Country.

I am not a big fan of the Bronte sisters who wrote some of the greatest English Classics like Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre (only because I have not read their books). But I did enjoy the atmosphere of small little town set in the Yorkshire Moors, which provided the literary inspiration for their works.
