Victorian heritage in a living village
Boot1e Says: There's no treasure but it is an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon and a good way of getting to know your way around Haworth. It's a 2½ mile route starting outside Cobbles and Clay on Main Street which takes you round the popular tourist parts (Main Street, Bronte...

alyf1961 Says: One of the things I love about Haworth is that everything is named after the Bronte sisters books or characters.Villette is a popular cafe named after one of Charlotte Bronte's novels.The cafe serves traditional Yorkshire food.My favourite is the "fat rascal" which is a...
THE EDINBURGH MILL SHOP: COSTA COMES TO HAWORTH
alyf1961 Says: I have always loved the Edinburgh mill shops. The one in Haworth was a particular favourite. Now I love it the best. I can buy delicious shortbread, lovely jam in pretty jars, soft woollen hoodies and now top it off with a delicious Costa latte........does life get any...
Balam Says: This is another great pub, a sign on the wall tells us that it's history goes back to the 17th century when the building belonged to the Lord of the Manor before being sold in 1763. In 1841 a friend of Branwell Bronte was the inkeeper. The pub has a unusual history, the...
Balam Says: This is a great Old Pub in the centree of the village just to the right as you come from the church. It has probably hardly changed since Branwell Bronte (brother of the famous Bronte Sisters) used to spend his time, There is a chair that is said to be the one he always sat...

lizeratsi Says: Please Please be careful of the CHANGE GATE car park in haworth, its been on tv, spoken about in the house of commons etc....they trick you to fall foul of thier " rules" to clamp you - most people that park there get clamped it is a racket - they have people drivng out as...
Balam Says: This was a nice shop in the centre just near the tourist information. it sold all sorts of things including fridge magnets, badges, coasters and many other items. It may not be the best place to buy souvenirs from but it was Open unlike the others!
THE CHOCOLATE BOX: SWEET MEMORIES
alyf1961 Says: The chocolate box shop in Haworth is a real trip down memory lane. They sell old-fashioned British sweets like pear drops, cherry lips and cinder toffee. They also sell kali, a pot of rainbow coloured sugar crystals, which you get with a stick of liquorice or a lolly to...
helpfulperson Says: DO NOT PARK in this car park opposite the Edinburgh Woollen Mill. The Clampers here 'set up' parking spaces (ie: park two vehicles with a space in the middle so it appears a usual parking space). They watch you park up whilst sitting in the Hyundai car parked up next to the...
lizeratsi Says: Please avoid Haworth, for years now there has been a privalty run car park in opertaion that scares disbaled people - the elderly, anyone with large thuggish men intimidatng unsuspecting people into paying a £75 fine to get thier car released from a clamp. They have people...
Hello this is the main car park you see as you enter the town, its visible and its opp the Edinburgh Woollen Mill shop, its called the " changegate" car park.
They have been named and shamed on many a TV program, been spoken about in our house of commons, etc etc.
the reason is not only the clamping that is indiscriminate but they employ all sorts of tricks to get you.
They have people waiting for you to come in, they will drive out and stop and offer you their ticket....
they will fiddle with the clock to make you out of time
they use thier own vehicles to push you out of the parking bay boundaries and will do anything else to make sure you get a 75 pound clamp on your car!
Our b&B never warned us of this car park and not only is the fine steep and unfair but the men in there scare people, they are large and aggressive thugs and yet no pne in the village does anything about it.
Unique Suggestions: Do not go there, to this car park there are council run carpars - drive around, ask people, but do not park in the change gate car park. You will get clamped and it will ruin your experience.
Fun Alternatives: There are several other larger and properly run car parks in the village, not as easy to find as the rouge one, but they are there, drive around and ask people if neccasry but do not park in the rough stone un even car park oppostite the edinburgh woollen mill.
