A Small and Lovely Village of Haworth (16/4/10)

I was so surprised when I first arrived in Haworth. Never in my life I encouter such a wonderful rural village. It's small, however it's spilled with English culture. Haworth is located in Bradford, it's one of the famous tourist spots in West Yorshire, famous for its connection to the Bronte sisters, the novelists.

The main street of Haworth is about 400 meters in lenth. Local shophouses are build along the streets, side by side, separated by a narrow stone walkway. Most shops are selling home made products, surviniors and books. You could also find a few restaurants along the street. The restaurants here serve the best English tea and authentic English food.

Besides the friendly residents, the classical English cottage, another thing that catches my eyes is the beautiful landscape of Haworth. I love walking along the footpath that rambling around the open spaces.
