Brontë Parsonage Museum

This is an absolute must for all brontë sisters lovers and fans. it was an incredibly moving experience to visit their home, see the very pens they wrote their littérature. the museum is beautifully maintained by knowledgeable staff, and a well presented brochure makes it very easy to self guide.

I am a major brontë fan and have read their novels repeatedly over the decades since school. i was so happy to visit and learned much about the family beyond what i have previously read. the gift shop is lovely and the museum guide was a smart purchase.

This was my first visit since 1986. in that time, a new ticket office, gift shop, and new displays to enjoy have appeared. as the parsonage has a lot of small rooms, the volunteers only allow a certain number of visitors in at a time. you may have a little wait to get inside. the museum has it's own car park, with public toilets be warned - you need 30p to enter the ladies. (can't comment on the arrangements for the gents!)

Bronte parsonage and the bronte village are well worth a visit. the parsonage has fantastic information about the family and each room. i could envisage the family living there. it was very atmospheric. the only downside was it was really busy. i would have liked to have spent a bit longer in each room. however i did take lots of photos which i hope anyone reading this review will enjoy. i highly recommend a visit. the bronte graves are inside the church. there are memorial plaques in the church but the actual graves are underneath one of the pillars in the church. the village is lovely. we had coffee at the bottom of the steep hill. well worth the walk down.

Read in the 70s at school and now in my 50s finally come to visit and a great insight into their lives and takes you back into history. takes an hour to look around and not too busy, if you like the books and watched emily the film, you will like being here. wonderful staff and small visitor centre to buy goodies.
