The Wuthering Heights Inn, Keighley

A shrine to the Emily Bronte novel from which it takes its name, this pub is situated in the village of Stanbury, about 1.5 miles from the Bronte Parsonage in Haworth. The walls are decorated with pictures of the family and other “Wuthering Heights“ related memorabilia. A framed placard provides an outline plot of the novel and character summaries. It contains details of the novel’s publication and subsequent history, including dates of film and TV adaptations. It also rather quaintly, proclaims that “In 1978, “Wuthering Heights” was the subject and title of a best selling gramophone record by Kate Bush.” I imagine younger visitors might be left wondering what a gramophone record was. Even if you’re not a fan of the novel, it’s a very pleasant pub, in the typical rural English style, with food served and a good selection of real ales.
