Overview

• Hundreds of visitors are reported daily as Main Street’s fully cobbled hill and independent cafés, pubs and boutiques create a strong sense of stepping back in time.
• Travelers are coming from across the UK alongside local Yorkshire day‑trippers, with some citing the Brontë connection as their primary reason to visit.
• The Brontë Parsonage Museum sits steps from the high street, and retailers across the village lean into the literary legacy with themed merchandise.
• The Cabinet of Curiosities stands out for its apothecary‑style interior and seasonal Halloween displays that draw steady footfall.
• The Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, a popular heritage line through the town, was closed for maintenance on the reporter’s visit, highlighting variable operations day to day.
