Haworth and The Brontes The old homes and shops of Haworth are solidly built of local stone. Tall and very skinny, clinging as they do to the steep valley side, overlooking the River Worth. Enjoy a stroll among them as you walk the narrow, steep, cobblestone streets – once trodden by the Bronte sisters… The Keighley & Worth Valley Railway is perhaps best known as the setting and location for the delightful 1970s film The Railway Children.
