where we going? Haworth! How we getting there? Steam train! Yeah
If you like steam trains pretty villages
and beautiful countryside and the
Keighley and Worth Valley Railway could
be right up your street. Originally built
in 1867 and set in the heart of
Bronte Country, the railway is almost 5
miles long and has six different
stations you can stop at. The standard day rover ticket cost 18 pounds however if
you travel to Keighley by train rather
than car you can buy it as an add-on for
12 pounds. We then also applied our two
together rail card discount on top of
this which brought the cost down to 7
pounds 90
We're in Haworth!
We join the onlookers to bid farewell
to the steam train before leaving the
station and heading towards Main street.
you see on the poll
Rather than heading directly to Main
Street we turn left to take the scenic
route through Haworth Central Park
We're walking up to the Main Street in Haworth
and we're going in via this little park
which is really pretty
there's lots of flowers and there's some
sort of sculpture over there which we're
going to take a look at. It's made of 2p's!
oh yeah. Haworth is a picturesque Yorkshire village set at the edge of the moors and
is famed for been home of the Bronte
sisters. Filled with cobble streets,
charming cottages and independent shops, Haworth is a popular destination for
tourists. So you walk up to the top of
the hill and then you
get this view
There are so many different types of
shops on this street
Jewelry, plants and ornaments, paintings,
clothes,
woodcraft, aromatherapy oils,
miscellaneous gifts, books and records,
clocks, guitars, sweets, and chocolates and
we just got free sample.
We googled where was good to go for
lunch in Haworth and this came up so
this is where we're gonna go
Sat at the top of Main Street, Haworth
Steam Brewery is a micro brewery. It
also offers home-cooked food an
extensive list of gins.
Lunch was really good, I had a
turkey and stuffing sandwich,
it was really nice and warm and soft. It
had a little bit of gravy in there
as well. It's great. Oh and I had gin
with orange and grapefruit tonic.
It's a local gin as well made
in Haworth which is pretty cool. So I had
the gammon and mustard sandwich with some
chips
There was lots of gammon. There's a nice view from
here. Anyway we're going to go that way
which is the way to the Bronte parsonage
The Bronte parsonage is the former home
of the Bronte family and the place where
the Bronte sisters wrote their famous
novels. you can now visit the parsonage
museum to view the collection of family
belongings including books letters
household items and personal possessions
we're heading back to the train station
now
so we're getting that one to Oxenhope
We're on the train again! As Oxenhope is at the
end of the line you can get off the
train and watch the steam engine
detached from the carriages and turn
around before you leave
Our final stop of the day was Ingrow.
Your day Rover ticket allows you free
entry to the Railway Museum here you can
view walk around and sit in
Victorian and Edwardian carriages. so
just chatting to a guy down there who
works here who is saying to look out for
all the plaques that are on these
carriages as a lot them were used in films and
TV shows and it tells you what they've been in
 
It's raining, come on let's go!
Our train back to Keighley was a diesel
train. You can check on the official
railway timetable which I'll link in the
description below to see the timings of
the different types of trains
