Wuthering Heights filming locations in Yorkshire

Begin your trip with a circular hike through one of the most beautiful parts of the Yorkshire Dales to see the sunrise. Your adventure begins at Reeth, and features both Arkengarthdale and Swaledale, two bewitching limestone valleys that steal the limelight. The landscape here is instantly recognisable from the 2026 film. It’s easy to feel like a windswept Catherine or Heathcliff in the throes of romantic torment. 

Recoup in Reeth. This pretty village was base camp for the production team – lucky them. It’s famous for its pretty village green flanked by sweeping views of the Dales – think Emmerdale. Grab a pub lunch at The Black Bull which has been serving pints since 1680. You deserve a slice of parkin too, after that hike. For trad treats, try Reeth Bakery (open Fridays and Saturdays) or for flat whites and artisan pastries, head to Two Dales Bakery.

Step into Low Row, another stone-built village framed by fells and a location for 2026 film. Stop at The Punch Bowl Inn, a 17th-century coaching inn perfect for a pint or afternoon tea. The oak beams and warm interiors make it easy to picture Heathcliff brooding over an ale in the corner.

Switch off with a stay at Simonstone Hall near the market town of Hawes. This classy country house hotel is where the cast stayed during filming. Spend the evening with the resident peacocks in the garden, admiring views of Upper Wensleydale and the foothills of the Pennines, or hunker down in front of the open fire during the winter months. The 18 rooms are equally inviting, furnished with plush four-poster beds and roll top baths. 

Literary lover or not, the Brontë Parsonage Museum is a must as it tells a very human story of an immensely talented family marred by death and tragedy. The Parsonage is where Emily Brontë penned Wuthering Heights. It’s also home to manuscripts, letters, poetry and personal objects that bring the world of the Brontë sisters vividly to life. Pause in the garden to take in the moors, the same view Emily, Charlotte and Anne would have gazed upon whilst dreaming up ideas for their stories.

After visiting the museum, meander down the cobbled high street of Haworth. Pop into independent bookshops stuffed with Brontë paraphernalia, browse local galleries hung with colourful landscape paintings, and pause in one of many cafés for a brew with a view. Don’t miss The Cabinet of Curiosities – a Victorian apothecary turned gift shop with antique shelves stocked with locally-made botanical perfumes, luxe candles and witchy trinkets and treasures. 

Set out on the Brontë Way to Top Withens, the ruined farmhouse that was to have inspired Wuthering Heights. Start at St Michael’s Church in Haworth, where the Brontës’ father was once vicar, then follow the wooden signposts out on to the surrounding moors. This relatively easy hike snakes up through Penistone Hill Country Park before descending to Brontë Waterfall and Bridge – a good spot for a breather and a few photos. From here, climb the stone steps into the untamed landscapes central to the novel, finishing at the ghostly ruins of Top Withens before making your way back to Haworth. The trail can get muddy, so pack proper walking boots. 

Finish your trip at East Riddlesden Hall, a moody National Trust manor near Keighley. Explore the walled gardens and terraces, and step inside rooms with dark oak beams, roaring fireplaces, and hidden corners. Wander the corridors, garden paths, and quiet nooks, and let the setting evoke the story and film you’ve been following across the Dales.
