Bronte Waterfall
The Bronte Waterfall is a great place to rest on your way to Top Withens (Wuthering Heights), Alcomden Stones or Ponden Kirk (The Fairy Cave). Top Withens (also known as Top Withins) is a ruined farmhouse near which is said to have been the inspiration for the location of the Earnshaw family house in Wuthering Heights.
Just a short distance from Top Withens, this lovely waterfall cascades down the rocks and has long attracted visitors drawn by its natural beauty and historical ties. Charlotte Brontë is said to have found solace here, and it remains a serene spot for reflection or a quick picnic.
Top Withens
Perched atop the moors, Top Withens is reputedly the site that inspired Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. Although the building itself is now a ruin, the sense of desolation and beauty is vivid. This spot offers panoramic views over the Yorkshire moors, best enjoyed on a breezy day to truly feel the spirit of the landscape. Originally known as ‘Top of th'Withens’, Top Withens is thought to have been built in the second half of the 16th century by George Bentley. At the time of the Brontës, it was inhabited by Jonas Sunderland and his wife Ann Crabtree (from 1811) and then their son, Jonas, with Mary Feather (from 1833). It was last inhabited by Ernest Roddy in 1926.
Today, it attracts literary fans from across the globe wanting to take a peek at Heathcliff’s house.
Cabinet of Curiosities
Back in Haworth, step into the Cabinet of Curiosities, a quirky little shop filled with Victorian oddities, local curios, and trinkets that evoke the historical and imaginative spirit of the village. It’s a treasure trove for those interested in the unique and unusual. This museum-like shop truly is like stepping foot in an old apothecary store, warmly lit by glass globes, fragranced with exotic oils, and packed from floor to ceiling with rich mahogany and glass display cases. Over the years the family-run business has taken on a true labour of love, salvaging many of the shops fittings from chemists, grocery shops and museums to replicate the ‘wonder-rooms’ of a time gone by.
You could easily spend a full day here, but we were dying to check out Bronte Waterfall and Top Withens, a ruined farmhouse which is thought to be the inspiration for Heathcliff’s home in Wuthering Heights.
Wuthering Heights Pub
End your walk at the Wuthering Heights pub in Stanbury, a cosy spot to enjoy a pint or a hot meal after a day on the moors. This traditional Yorkshire pub has rustic charm, providing a hearty menu and an atmosphere that perfectly complements a moody moorland adventure.
Options to extend the route
For a longer hike, consider adding a detour to nearby Ponden Kirk, a rocky outcrop believed to be the inspiration for Wuthering Heights’ Penistone Crags. This can turn the walk into a full day’s outing, with more moorland views and a touch of rock scrambling for the adventurous.

Route details
This Wessenden Valley walk explores the valley and visits some of the waterfalls before heading up to West Nab. At 500m above sea level it’s one of the higher peaks in the Peak District and has amazing views over the moors. On the return leg, you’ll tackle the steep climb up to Raven Rocks, then scramble your way round to West Nab. There is a path running through the rocks which leads up to West Nab.
West Nab is a mystical place which has a history steeped in folklore. There are curious rock formations, including the Druid Stone which has three round indentations in, said to be seats for 3 priests to watch the sunrise before conducting a ritual.
West Nab Trig
Looking for the best place near Holmfirth to catch a sunset? You can’t go wrong with West Nab Trig. West Nab is one of the easiest trigs to bag, with parking closeby. While our walk first takes you deep into the valley (meaning there’s an ascent to get back up to West Nab on the return leg), you could easily plan a trip to West Nab itself without having to tackle the climb.
West Nab is a bit of a hidden gem in the Peak District. Being at the northern boundary of the Peak District, it’s not very well known, but a quick climb up the hill gives you incredible views over Huddersfield, Holmfirth, over to Saddleworth, Manchester and beyond.
The area also has a spirtual past. One of the largest rocks has three circular bowls and is thought to be the seat of three priests or druids. Whether this is true or not, it’s a beautiful and atmospheric place – well worth a visit. The area is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and dogs are excluded. There is a sign on the stile warning you of this so if you are a dog owner, please skip out West Nab on the return leg.
Blakely Clough Waterfall
This beautiful waterfall is tucked away on the Pennine Way. The plunge pool is about 2m deep at the deepest spot, making it great for a mid-route wild dipping spot to cool off on a hot summer’s day.

The route drops gently across moorland with stunning views all the way to Deer Hill reservoir on the outskirts of Meltham. From here, a bridleway leads uphill to Wessenden Head Road, the first real climb on the walk. On a clear day the deer are out in the field and are a lovely sight.
Framing the landscape
Easily accessed from the parking layby on Wassenden Head Road, this frame is one of a series of open air art installations by Ashley Jackson in partnership with the National Trust. There are six frames in total, with another located at Holme Moss car park. The views in this frame points towards Wassenden Head Reservoir and are simply stunning.
Getting to the Wessenden Valley

If you’re arriving by public transport, you can take the train to Greenfield then board the 352 bus from Stop D towards Wessenden Head Road. The bus stops a 5 min walk away from the starting point.

Shops, cafes and pubs available in both Meltham and Holmfirth.

It was last inhabited by Ernest Roddy in 1926.
On 18 May 1893, Top Withens was struck by lightning during a thunderstorm. Holes were made in the wall, the roof was partially torn off, flags were cracked, and around 30 windows were almost completely removed. Today, it attracts literary fans from across the globe, each wanting to take a peek at Heathcliff’s house.
Nature, literature, and history truly converge in this short walk, inviting you to experience the setting that inspired some of the most enduring works in English literature. Let the words of the Brontës echo in the Yorkshire winds—here, among the moors and waterfalls, the stories truly come alive.

Tired of the same old boring treadmill walks? Want to spice up your exercise routine and take in some breathtaking views at the same time? Look no further than the North York Moors. The North York Moors is a beautiful and diverse area of natural beauty — making for a great base to explore the stunning landscapes, charming villages, and rich history of the region.
Walking in the North York Moors is like taking a step back in time. The rolling hills, lush green countryside, and charming villages will transport you to a simpler, more peaceful era. But don't let the idyllic scenery fool you, this area is also home to some serious natural beauty.
One of the must-see landmarks on a walk in the North York Moors is the Kilburn White Horse. This impressive hill figure, carved into the side of a hill, is believed to have been created in the 18th century and is a true marvel to behold. The best part? You can burn some calories and work those leg muscles while hiking up to get a closer look.
After you've had your fill of the Kilburn White Horse, head over to Gormire Lake for a more serene walking experience. This beautiful lake is surrounded by woods and heathland, and is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to the diverse range of plants and animals that call it home.

Our route starts just below and features a steady (and breathy) climb up to the start.
The origins of the Kilburn White Horse are shrouded in mystery, but it is believed to have been created in the 18th century. Some historians believe that it was created by a local farmer as a tribute to King George III, who was the reigning monarch at the time. Others believe that it was created by a group of local residents as a way to promote the area and attract tourists.
Over the years, the Kilburn White Horse has undergone several renovations and repairs. In 1857, a group of local residents formed the Kilburn White Horse Preservation Society, which was responsible for maintaining the horse and ensuring that it remained visible to the public. In the early 20th century, the horse was re-cut and re-chalked to ensure that it remained visible.
Today, the Kilburn White Horse is a popular destination for walkers and visitors to the North York Moors. It's a fascinating piece of history, and a testament to the enduring popularity of this ancient art form. The horse stands as a symbol of the area's rich history and culture, and a reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage.

So scribble that gym sesh out your diary and head to the North York Moors for a walk you'll never forget. Trust me, your legs (and your Instagram feed) will thank you.
