Charlotte, Anne & Emily Bronte - Walking in the footsteps of the Bronte Sisters
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июн 2024
- Emily Bronte, Anne Bronte, and Charlotte Bronte lived 180 years ago. We visit Bronte Country and walk in the footsteps of the Bronte Sisters, piecing together their tragic short lives as we visit places they lived or frequented.
The Brontes wrote some of the most dramatic fiction right here in West Yorkshire and many of the places still exist. On our walk, we will head to where it all started at the Bronte's birthplace in Thornton. Visit the school that Charlotte Bronte immortalised as Lowood School in Jane Eyre. See Oakwell Hall which she based Fieldhead on in Shirley. Walk the wild Haworth Moors to Top Withens where Emily Bronte found inspiration for Wuthering Heights, and a whole lot more.
All the time telling the story of how the 3 Bronte Sisters came to be the famous writers we all know today.

My brother lived in Haworth for a while, so I was lucky enough to stay on occasion. I burst into tears the first time I walked into the dining room at the Parsonage, I felt so overwhelmed.
'Genius' is an over-used word, but the level of genius in this strange family was astonishing.
So glad you have been and seen the house and experienced it. They have quite a story let alone the ones they wrote.
❤
I'm writing a book where my heroine does a pilgrimage to Haworth, but can't go into the museum, likewise, afraid of being overwhelmed -- and of not abiding the other tourists. . . .
Unbelievably well made: the research and story were fascinatingly interesting, the scenes beautifully filmed, and the narration style and delivery absolutely perfect, very enjoyable to watch. Far and above way better than anything on tv.
So kind, thank you we are so happy that you have enjoyed it.
Absolutely :)
Yes, totally agree, perfect. Thank you
Absolutely true.wonderful🙂
Brilliantly done, but such a sad story of one family 😢
What a tragic story for Charlotte Brontë and the Brontë sisters. Their classic novels will live on. Beautifully done. ❤
Yes it was astonishing how much death affected this poor family.
Can you write some novels from the sin sisters?
@@Guadalupe.MirellaWTF
A beautiful and sensitive video of the Brontë family’s home and surrounds. Like many people, we had to study their books at school, here in Australia. I found their books thrilling, yet the authors lives were so sad, dying so young as they did. Thank you for this tribute to their lives, their village and the moors they loved.
Thank you for the lovely comment. So glad you enjoyed it.
Charlotte, to be 39 yrs and pregnant for the first time, would seem particularly difficult in that time. What a strong life and challenge these woman faced. We are removed from the toll of death from disease (TB, etc).
My wife & i have enjoyed all your films but we both agree that this & the Snowshill films really showcase your amazing gift for writing & reading your narrations. So informative & relaxing & inspiring. Bravo 👏
David, thank you so much for the lovely comment. We are so happy that you both enjoy them. Your kind words keep is going to make more! Thank you!
I always look forward to a new post from you! I lived in England for a while as an AU pair (1981-1982) and I still miss England. Having a cup of tea (with milk and sugar of course) and shortbread is a perfect time! I'm looking forward to the next posts and hope you continue for a long time. Greetings from Germany
Hello in Germany Gabi, so nice to hear that you are enjoying the videos. I hope it brings back fond memories 😊
Beautiful doggo xx
My daughter & I stayed at the Old White Lion Inn across from the Black Bull in May and loved Haworth. The people were so warm and welcoming. They even have their own taxi company that took us back to Bradford to the train station.
I think if we went back again, we would try one of the pubs to stay in. The do look delightful and being right in the centre is just lovely. Especially at night when its quiet.
@@MemorySeekers the pub was wonderful! The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The room was clean, comfortable & a great value for the area.
@@AndreaD. good to know thank you!
Always looking forward to another one!-)🤝👨🚀🚀
😊
Splendid story, nicely told! Good job!👍 From all your admirers in Russia!🍀🍻🎆
Thank you very much!
I have loved their novels since I was 13 years old. I'm 68 now and still love it!
Thank you very much for your videos.
Greetings from Hungary.
Thank you for watching, so pleased you liked it.
Excellent presentation guys.👍
Thank you!
Stunning and beautiful Yorkshire scenery!!! Amazing and yet tragic story of the Bronte family!!! One can only imagine the effects of their deaths on Patrick Bronte, having to live with the painful experience of their lives cut short by disease, damp environment and drinking/drug abuse, for the rest of his life. Thank you again for your wonderful work!!! 💖
Hello Cassandra, yes totally agree I cannot imagine how he managed to go on. Terrible story, but a least they live on now and bring joy to many. Some small consolation.
@@MemorySeekers , I remember very clearly reading the book "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte, and also seeing something like 7 movie adaptations, and the TV adaptation of this particular book. I was fascinated by the romantic, and yet dark, and tragic aspects of the story. I only wish I had read the other books by the Bronte sisters. So very tragic about Bramwell destroying himself with ludanum(?) , and alcohol, which would have caused irreversible liver and kidney failure. 😢. Thank you again for your reply! Very much appreciated indeed! 🙏
@@cassandraralph5906 The other novels are great too, though the earlier ones (Agnes Grey and The Professor) have a different feel. Wuthering Heights is my favorite. Tenant of Wildfell Hall (by Anne Bronte) contains a character likely based on the brother, Branwell. The way she describes the personality and behavior of an alcoholic is chilling, and amazingly little different from what we see today. Compared to other popular novels of the day, the Brontes were very honest in their writing. I recently read a novel called Romancing Miss Bronte, a fictionalized story about Charlotte's life, which I enjoyed very much. I'm sure we will all be here next week for the Parsonage tour. Memoryseekers fans are the best! :)
@@SpanishEclectic, thank you for your reply! I really appreciate your information regarding the other books by the Bronte sisters. I will try to get them as soon as I can afford them. Thank you again! 😊
Wonderful presentation. My favorite writers and I never get tired of them. Love the light and skies too!
Thank you for watching.
I first read Wuthering Heights at age 12 and have been a lover of reading ever since, now at 76 I still have a love for Wuthering Heights so this video has brought back many memories for me. Thank you so much 💕🇦🇺
Hello Liz, so nice to hear we have stirred the memories.
Viva the bronte family i am from México and sigo your videos
Hello, so glad you enjoyed it. Great to hear you are watching Mexico!
I don't have words to describe how grateful I am for this incredible job you've done! I'm Brazilian, and getting to know such places would be kind of impossible for me, but through this incredible footage I was able to get to know these places that are so important in the lives of my favorite authors! I'm out of words to thank! Thanks Thanks Thanks!
That is so kind. Very pleased you have enjoyed it so much.
Oh, this was so so good… I truly appreciate the time and the details that you included to make this wonderful… I do have to add though that, although the events of their lives seemed tragic and were, a part that is missing from this is their deep faith. The books have their faith in God as Christians running all through them, and I believe that the father, who saw so much pain, took refuge in the Lord to bring him through his life.
Hi Lisa, so please you liked it and thank you for sharing your thoughts. 😊
Simon and Will you outdid yourselves this time. My favourite so far. What a tragic tale. So much loss. It was the way of the times but I don’t know how they handled it all. I was waiting to see if the sisters found love. Charlotte being left as the only surviving child, then she finds love and her and her unborn child die. How much we take for granted in our time. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate the hard work you both put in to bring us these beautifully crafted videos. I do look forward to them every week. Much love. ❤️🇨🇦
Hello Jill, you comment makes it all worthwhile. Everything you say is so true. I don't know how they could handle it. Terrible. Thank you so much for watching. 😊
I wouldn’t assume that Charlotte found love with her husband. She married quite late, as her father was aging. For women of that era, marriage was extremely important as a way to survive, assuming the man wasn’t abusive. If she’d survived her father as a spinster, she’d have been homeless, as a new curate wouldn’t have allowed her to stay, unless he could afford to hire her as a governess for his own children, if any. She’d have needed to either find employment, or hope that her Irish or Cornish relatives could take her in. Her books subsequent to Jane Eyre didn’t sell as well. The idea of marrying only for love was still relatively new, and many people married for economic and other reasons. Patrick’s initial objection to the match may have been because there was no love there; or, perhaps, since childbirth was very dangerous for women, and Charlotte was old to have a first baby, in those days, he may also have feared for her safety. But he also would have known that were he to predecease her, she’d be hard-pressed to make a living on her own. Which may have been why he relented. How bitter for him that she died while pregnant. Life in that era was very hard.
@@Historian212 I guess that’s what I meant. I should have said that she married and wasn’t left alone. I’m well aware marriages were out of necessity and convenience then.
Lovely, Thank you!
Our pleasure!
Thank you so much! I love your videos, but this has to be one my favourites. I spent a year abroad at The University of Leeds during my English Lit degree, and visits to Haworth were a must. This brings back many fond memories of my brief time as a "Yorkshire lass".
Hello, so happy to hear you enjoyed it and its a fav for you. Also happy we stirred memories of happy time sin Leeds and Yorkshire 😊
What an emotional trip. I love the historic description You always add to every image. We can almost see the girls writing the novels. Great video as usual. Cheers.
So kind thank you, glad it came across well. It's such a tragic story to tell.
I have to say that all your segments on the homes and haunts of British literary figures are so enjoyable . I am looking forward to the tour of the Bronte parsonage . It sounds as though the Bronte family biography would make a a great gothic novel in it's self .
So kind David. Thank you very much, this makes us very happy.
I had exact same thought as I was watching this. I’d love to see it as a movie.
Excellent tour of the historic places of the talented Bronte sisters! What a stunning and rugged countryside. It must have been magical to walk where the sisters walked. We forget how tenuous life was in the 1800's. I look forward to your next adventure! All the best to you both from Massachusetts!🙂
Thank you so much Sherry. Lovely to read how much you enjoyed it.
Great job as usual. I loved the early dark morning/ evening rainy parts. Beautiful country. Looking forward to more. Blessings and hugs.
Thank you Joen. I agree with you, I like the night scenes it was so lovely to walk around, the village is quiet at night and the rain just makes all the lights bleed on the cobbled streets. We got some good photos that night.
I really enjoyed this extended walking tour along with the history of the Brontë family. I look forward to seeing the next walk😊👏👏👏
So happy you liked it Carol. We had a wonderful time visiting to make it.
As others have said, you gentlemen have outdone yourselves this time. Excellent job! I loved the dark rainy view of the cobble streets. I can imagine Heathcliff striding there with a scowl, his coat tails flapping. He looks a bit like Tom Hardy, lol. Thank you for braving the walk up to the "heights". I love that novel, and did a deep dive into the history of the family, as well as reading the entire published works. It is such a treat to see the locations up close. Your final thoughts made me think of Mozart, who died at what I consider a very young age; did their talents burn bright because their lives were short, or would they have, as you said, gone on to even greater things. I am sending this on to my six favorite people, all of whom love books and everything English. Looking forward to your tour of the parsonage. Kudos!
Hello, so pleased you enjoyed it. I too love the dark wet night scenes in Haworth. We were lucky to be there then. Its not often you want the rain but it really helped the presentation and we took some lovely shots as the rain made the street lights shine into the cobbles. The place was so quiet then as well. Eerie but amazing. Thank you for sharing!
The way this film was made and the accompanying commentary is very captivating.
The sad story of this family clearly indicates that in ancient times health care was still in its early stages.
Everything is displayed in an excellent manner.
Thank you for this wonderful movie!
Thank you so much for your kind words. So pleased you enjoyed it.
This was wonderful. Thank you so much. I read Wuthering Heights when I was 10 years old (possibly too young) and was told that I talked about it in my sleep. 😏
Thank you so glad you enjoyed it, I struggle to understand some of it even now so how you managed at 10 I don't know! 😊
@@MemorySeekers I read it at 11 along with lotsof Dickens.
Well done, you both deserved a pint after that hike, the scenery and the history is so interesting. You always manage to provide so much information, a real treat for anyone who is planning a trip to the UK, and for those expats a taste of home. Another great presentation looking forward to the next instalment.🐨🦘🐨🦘😷👍👍
As always thank you Jeanette, lovely to hear you enjoyed it. Yes the pint was needed and the break! It was a tough walk at times but soooooo worth it. 😊
This is one of your best vlogs! Beautifully filmed and great commentary. Brought back such wonderful memories of my visit in 2016. I walked up onto the moors from the parsonage but given the terrain you showed, I’m glad I didn’t press on to Top Withens 🙏 looking forward to more of your vlogs 😊 🌼
So nice to know you have been and experienced it for yourself. We were in too minds to go that far but we really needed to for the video, and so glad we pushed ourselves to do it. Loved every minute of the walk.
Oh...I am so excited for this! (But cannot watch right now 😢) just wanted to give a 'thumbs up' now as I know it'll be great! Love you guys! 😁 thank you 👍 from New Hampshire.....will watch tonight!
How you enjoy it! Lovely to know you cannot wait to get home to watch it! 😊
Perfection!!! 👍 I loved the video footage in the the rain on cobblestone alleys and the hike was beautiful ~ so nice to see many old buildings/homes still standing too...holding my breath til next week! 😉 thanks S&W 👏👏👏
What a great episode, thankyou. Certainly a sad family, I cant imagine how hard it would have been for their Dad to outlive them all. Watching you both doing the walk makes me realise how tricky that would have been in clothing of the era! Looking forward to the next one . Youre dry over there which must be unusual while over here nearby towns are facing rising floodwaters. 🙂 cheers Cheryl
Do you know I had never considered the clothing issue, but you are right. An I thought it was hard with all our modern bits and proper boots! Stay safe hope the floods do not affect you to much.
Love your videos ! Living in New Zealand they transport me back to my home country and many loved places. Have read Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights many times. Heathcliff was my teenage hero ! Thanks so much for your wonderful work
Hello Pam, so nice to hear our videos transport you back to England. It is our pleasure to be able to share them. All the best.
Обожаю роман Джейн Эйр, моя любимая экранизация 1983 с Тимати Долтоном и Зилой Кларк, пересматриваю постоянно. Спасибо за отличный видеоролик, было как всегда интересно и познавательно! Спасибо за ваш труд и осторожней на склонах, берегите себя❤
I love your shows. This was brilliant. Justice to the Bronte's. Looking forward to next week's show.
Thank you so much! 😊
Extremely interesting and fascinating, such delightful countryside and villages, I don't want to miss a single bit of the next videos, congratulations on the excellent result of your work 💚💚
Thank you so much, really nice to hear!
I really enjoyed this documentary! I learned more about the Bronte family that I hadn't heard before. Thank you!
Magnificamente relatado . Enhorabuena y gracias por mostrar tantas cosas de ese maravilloso país.
Thank you Sarah, glad we have something you didn't know about. 😊
Muchas gracias, me alegra saber que lo disfrutó. ¡Gracias por ver!
This could not have released at a better time. Currently reading Wuthering Heights, a pure jewel of a novel. It's a shame their lives were taken away so prematurely. Wonderful video, as always ❤️
Thank you for your kind words Iris, great timing!
That was so good to watch, I loved it all and saw lots of the surrounding area that I haven’t seen before. The videoing was excellent quality. I am now looking forward to part two. I have been to Haworth three times but I’m still seeing more of it from your coverage. This has been a real treat for me. Thank you so much.
Hello Mary, it is lovely to hear that you have experienced it and that we can still share something you didn't know or hadn't seen. Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
Thank you so much. Very interesting and beautifully filmed..
Glad you enjoyed it
One of the last landscapes you guys filmed was just awesome! So beautiful! Thanks for sharing those precious piece of History! Well done!!!♥️
It is a stunning part of the country, one I wished we had visited more in the past!
Thank you for the walking tour of West Yorkshire and the locales familiar to the Bronte family. It makes their lives and their books more meaningful to see the physical context in which they were written. For the sake of the narrative, the scandals and controversies surrounding the sisters, particularly Charlotte's suppression of her sisters' works, were omitted. They might make a fitting subject for a future video. Anne's literary reputation especially suffered from Charlotte's misguided judgment, when Anne was in fact the most modern, realistic and insightful of the three novelists. She deserved better.
Hello, We only wanted to give a potted history of the Brontes in the video. It was more about the places they visited really rather than a full on documentary. Thank you for the suggestion and your thoughts, though we do appreciate it.
I have always known that the lives of the Bronte Sisters were unlucky, but I didn't imagine that they were very much ominous and sinister! You guys have put my psyche in a very sad state by the information you have given about the Bronte's and their tragic lives. And that in itself is a testimony for your good work. Thanks a lot and keep it up.
I am sure there were very happy times for them between the sadness. Anne and Charlotte were governesses, and Emily was happy in her domestic enviroment. Also their book writing kept them busy and success meant a lot to them.
It is a very sad tale, one which I am sure was similar for many families of that era. People did die young then due to many factors. We find it quite shocking now but it was the norm back then. Knowing that they were no different to other families suffering death might have helped them come to terms with it? It was affecting every household in the area. We will touch on this more when we walk in Haworth in a future video, mortality rates were unusually high in Haworth as can be seen in the Church which is crammed full of very young locals. 😰
As others have said there were many periods of happiness for the Brontes, they seemed a very strong family.
Yet another outstanding video! I'm watching this on the anniversary of the publication of Jane Eyre, October 16th. It's long been a favorite of mine, and I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful look at the lives of this exceptional family. There's a campaign on to raise money to purchase the house in Thornton so it can be opened to the public. Looking forward to the next video in this wonderful series!
Great information Cheryl, thank you. Good to know they want to try and save this important house to be part of the Bronte story properly.
@@MemorySeekers, you're very welcome.
Thank you guys for a very lovely episode on the Bronte family. It was beautifully made! Looking forward to the next one!
Thank you Linda, so lovely to hear.
The music chosen is exquisite, overall great feature.
Thank you so much, it is very hard to find the right tracks. It can take a long time sifting through to find the right one. Lovely to hear you appreciated it.
Simon and Will this is stunning. How you have mixed in the life story of the Brontes and the sights to visit, it's magic. I listen to audio books as I work and Wuthering Heights is next on the list, I haven't read it for years. I can't wait for the sequel vlogs. Thank you as always. =-)
Thank you so much Lorraine, we had our doubts, I have to say, on how the mixing of the history and the visiting of the places would work. In the end we are very happy with it and the comments confirm we made the right decision!
Fantastic video. I've read and reread the Bronte novels over the years. It was great learning about their life & inspiration. Looking forward to the next episode.
Thank you Marsha, so nice to know you learnt something new from our presentation.
Another brilliant presentation. Though I have been there before visiting the town and patronage but you have managed to surprise me with new stories and sceneries. Thank you so much! Love your videos. 👍❤
Thank you so pleased we managed to share something new.
I have been there in 2018 just on a day visit so beautiful 😍
My heart is so much taken up this video, I fail in words to put out... I agree with u if only ever the 3 Bronte sisters were alive, lots more masterpieces would have made history of novels with unique love stories & writing skills... I'm obsessed with their books 📚😍💕 if only they had been more books.... I must tell ur video brought me a thrill of "True Bronte Sisters history " beyond words with ur mesmerizing views, visualization, editing & narration on main... I literally traveled with u guys & so bewitching Yorkshire's beauty--- the bridge, moors, buildings, church... I'm just in a magic spell of love place I dreamed since I learned from books... thank u from bottom of my heart & waiting for more....
Harsha, what can we say, you have really enjoyed the video today. I know you were waiting for this one! So pleased we were able to meet your expectations. Very happy that you enjoyed it so much. 😊
@@MemorySeekers enjoyed.... yes... I loved it so much... thank u
Thank you for another lovely video! You never disappoint. I look forward to the next video. It's a great start to the weekend 😉
Thank you, have a great weekend Brandie
I'm a yank, and didn't know much about the Bronte sisters.Then saw the film Emily just last night, so I came here. I'd like to say well done, and thank you for this great, thorough, and educational day trip back into time, to get a real feel for the sisters creative genius.
Thank you, I've not seen the movie yet. Must get round to it! Glad you enjoyed it.
Very enjoyable! Nice photographic quality. Lovely narration. Many thanks!
Many thanks!😊
Excellent ! You deserve to have 1M subscribers. Leaves a lot of commercial productions far behind in the weeds.
That is so kind, thank you 😊
Absolutely beautiful views, thankyou for this very interesting, I’ve been to the Brontë house few years ago, but didn’t go elsewhere, I’d love to go again sometime
Thank you Sue, glad we have been able to share it with you. I do hope you head back and see more of the places, they are just so interesting to be in and the scenery! Amazing.
Absolutely stunning footage! This was such a beautiful film and narrated so well. I really enjoyed all the narrative and history you fill your videos with. I learn so much more than any commercial guidebook. Also, well done on completing the walk, it was so difficult in places and you both deserved the beer at the pub. Thank you both.
Thank you so much for the kind words. It really means a lot! So pleased you enjoyed it. 😊
Thank you very much. This was lovely, and one of your highest quality so far. I am going to bring up a tiny quibble, but only because it shows another tiny sadness of the Brontë family. Patrick was offered a perpetual curacy, not a proper rectorship. He had all the duties of a proper holder of the church office of rector, but could be paid less because of the title. (Pay method complicated.) Usually a curateship is a sort of doctor's residency, where you work long hours for little or even no pay. But owing to 19th century parsimony, Patrick got this awful betwixt and between title, so his large family got less money. But he did, in his turn, have a curate to help him, but obviously had to pay him. It all adds to the tragedy.
Hello Diana, thank you for the clarification on this point. Most interesting to have this extra detail that we were not aware of. I just thought that perpetual had the same meaning as today "never ending".
Beautifully presented 💝
Thank you!
I am throughly enjoying this series. Your postings are always educational and today I learned more about the tragic Brontes. Thank you so much and, yes please, more Yorkshire and Bronte visiting. xx
Hello so glad to hear that you are enjoying the series. It keeps us going to make more!😊
Haya. Sometimes words or the right words cannot always echo or express how we feel & or how we are made to feel; sometimes music can express the right emotion, without words ever spoken & this is exactly what you did here, the music & your entire filming speaks softly but the emotions that it reached are more vibrant & how you created this video for us all to enjoy is truly magical & reaches the inner senses & encapsulates the imagination deeply & I can really feel as though I was walking those very same footsteps as the family once did💙Saying thank you to you both never seems to be enough. Thanku SO much for sharing & all your hard work. x
Wow, thank you so much for this. It is amazing to read how our approach affected you. We did try so hard to get the right music to help tell the story and I am so happy to read that you have picked this up in the delivery of the video. Thank you for saying so! 😊
@@MemorySeekers I hope my comment made sense, I did my best to explain how ALL your videos make me & probably all your viewers feel, sometimes in my brain 'I' get what I am saying & not always easy for others to 'get' what I am explaining ☺I spent about half hour writing out what I said & re wording, checking etc. . . ☺
Also please, are you both going to make any videos on Beatrix Potter & the surrounding areas there? Although I have been multiple times it would be wonderful to see it through both your eyes via your breath-taking videos 😀 Thanku again, both of you have a good week. Ana.
@@yougotmeinstitches1847 Yes it made sense, thank you it was very kind. Whilst we don't know much about Beatrix ( we can find out) we do have it on the list. The Lakes is somewhere just like Yorkshire we wanted to visit. Possibly one for next year when the weather picks up again. ☺
@@MemorySeekers Wonderful 😀
I enjoyed this video. I do feel that the father Patrick is often overlooked. He campaigned vigorously for better sanitation in Howarth after the death of all his family & many of the villagers. This led to improved sanitation, more toilets & a new reservoir as the drinking water in the village was contaminated by rotting bodies in the graveyard.
Hello Susan, thank you for the comment. We will be covering this subject when we walk around Haworth on a village tour later in the series. We shared a potted history in this video as otherwise it would have been very long. So its not forgotten. Indeed in this weeks video inside the house we share more information not in last weeks video, so over the 3 videos we hope to cover most of the important subjects, spend out. 😊
@@MemorySeekers Brilliant, I love everything about the Bronte’s, look forward to watching more of your videos
Very good filming, and very atmospheric. I also liked seeing the interior of the parsonage, imagining the Brontes using the objects displayed. The wild moors, the tragic short lives, the heartbreak - I can see how they influenced Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre, both wonderful books.
Thank you, so glad you liked it. Next week we will take a deeper look inside the house up close the the objects and possessions on display.
This was lovely ❤. Thank you so much for this tour
Thank you for watching. 😊
@@MemorySeekers You are more than welcome 🤗! I love your BEAUTIFUL Uk 🇬🇧! One day I will get there! I’ve been to other countries but, this is the One ☝🏻 I really love. Even if I have to come on my own 🥰
Simon and Will, you make such interesting and visually stunning videos, I have followed your channel for ages. I thoroughly enjoy them all. As others have said this video of the Bronte's and Yorkshire countryside is so inspiring! I've wanted to go to Yorkshire for many years and have never got there. After your video, I'm determined to get there, you have such a lovely way of speaking and the visual imagery is amazing. Great camera work! Brilliant all round. The music was magical, very atmospheric. Thank you. 👌😊
Hello Wendy, thank you for your kind words. We are very happy that this is inspiring you to look at planning a trip. It really is a lovely part of the country and I wish we had visited before. It has been on our list for a long time. Thank you for watching and your continued support. 😊
An excellent video as always. Thank you so much.
So nice of you, thank you 😊
So interesting! Beautiful filming!❤❤👍👍
Many thanks!
You're welcome. ❤
What a sad yet lovely and heartwarming video. Wery well and beautyfull put together, thanks guys.
Our pleasure! Thanks so much for watching.
This was so beautifully put together absolutely perfect. I so enjoyed it and all that this wonderful video had to offer, I felt swept along with you two sweet chaps on the walk that I’d couldn’t do now. Bless you both for sharing this, I enjoyed it tremendously.
Looking forward to the next one. 😊
Thank you again Jay, really kind words and so happy it hit the spot! 😊
It is really enjoyable to hear your narrative with these wonderful places which are full of history early in the Sunday morning in Sydney 😊
Glad you enjoyed it 😊

Thank you for your kind words Erika, really nice to hear how much you enjoyed it. All the best.
Lovely channel...Very much enjoyed this episode! Also, your Jane Austen series is a favorite. 😊💛
Thank you so much, glad you liked the videos. Makes us very happy!
Another wonderful, well researched and presented video. I'm enjoying the Yorkshire series a lot, given me plenty of ideas for visits. Haworth is special to me as my wife proposed to me (I was too slow apparently) there, and we are still happily married 16 years later!
Thanks so much, great to hear its given you ideas. You should pop back to Haworth for a romantic weekend!
My goodness what a walk, but not boring!
Какие прекрасны виды с возвышенности города на долину . А ночной город во время дождя и при свете фонарей вообще фантастика.😀👍👍👍
Memory seekers thank you so much for this informative video loved every part of it

Thank you glad you liked it. ☕
В сердце осталась печаль, грусть- такие молодые, такие талантливые девушки, и так рано ушли. Спасибо за чудесную прогулку.
Thank you for watching.
You have captured the mood perfectly the music is sublime, perfection
I am so thankful I have been there, and made the walk to Top withens. The moors are amazing. I love their books and movies. Overwhelming to have walked on the ground, where they once walked, and seen some of their personal things.
So nice to hear you have experienced a visit. 😊
decluttering every confusions whatever existed for bronte sisters. Wholehearted love and blooming kisses to the person who created this wonderful documentary presentation.
So glad you liked it.
So well done. You do such a wonderful job with these videos, and this is just beautiful. What views coming back down from that hike! I think this is the best video I have seen that really shows what the moors are like. Thank you so much for sharing!
So pleased you enjoyed the walk. The hike was amazing, loved every minute of it!
What a fantastic video! To actually see the moors that the Brontes walked over on a nearly daily basis touched me deeply. My ancestors also walked on these moors. “Wuthering Heights” will never be the same again because I now know what moors that Cathy and Heathcliffe spent their days on look like. I will return to this video often. Without a doubt your travel videos are the best in terms of quality and content. PS. I’m sending this video to my friends and family who love the Brontë sisters’ works as much as I do.
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing the video. It really helps us. It is also so nice to know how much it has touched you.😀
Very nice indeed & I was well-impressed with your editing from the dark rainy streets of Victorian Howarth, to the lovely sunny place people love to visit today. Very well done - quite made me wish I'd visited donkey's years ago when I should've! Be quite fun to do a series on the tea shops of... This is a delightful series, thank you guys.
Thank you so much, we were quite lucky really being in Haworth at night and then the rain started. Didn't think about it at the time but when we edited, it just worked out so well during the storytelling.
@@MemorySeekers I thought that was genius - if you'd planned it, never would have happened! Lovely job.
Great to see the Moors in bloom and bracken! The start of the circular walk shows that maintenance on the track has been getting a bit behind schedule - from the pandemic upheavals one presumes. Lets hope that's fixed before too much erosion takes place. A stunning scenic reprise that almost makes the long past grinding through Wuthering Heights in school English classes worthwhile!
I am a bronte lover! I wish i could come here someday. Never tired to watch Charlotte Brönte's work into film. İ even have some versıons of Jane Eyre:-) thanks for amazing video brothers!!!
Hope one day you can make the trip.
Dear God I would love to see all this. Love the Brontes. FEELS LIKE I KNEW THEM SOMEHOW. ❤❤❤
Excellent coverage as usual and to top that your eloquent presentation in all of your videos is extremely noteworthy. It's a pleasure to watch your videos.
Much appreciated! Thank you for the kind words. 😊
A beautiful video - thankyou.
Glad you enjoyed it
I can't thank you enough for this - i've dreamed of the Yorkshire moors in WH since I read it at age 11 - you made me see it in reality - can't wait to go - thank you.
Thank you for watching so glad you enjoyed the walk and we do hope you get to experience the wind in your hair and the remoteness yourself.
@@MemorySeekers You hit it exactly on the head - you're so good with getting the gist of places - that is exactly the experience and thank you for the good wishes - God willing one day.
I visited the parsonage 40 years ago.I amAustralian and cannot afford to go again.I wanted to visit the pub where Branwelldid his drinking but Brit Rail were on strike and l had to return to London.
I read the biography about the Brontes and found their life stories both tragic and fascinating .
Thanks for watching.
every night i listen to Simon's voice to fall asleep. It is so calming
As a member of the Bronte Society who knows she will not visit there again, let alone walk that trail, I want to thank you for the lovely photography. I have only one small correction to your narration. The illness that killed the two eldest girls was typhoid, not tuberculosis.
Hello Dorothy thank you for the comment I am glad you enjoyed the video. I have just double checked with the Brontë Society Parsonage museum guide that charts the history of the family as you walk round and this says the eldest girls died of Tuberculosis?
So glad I found this channel 👏👏👏👍
Welcome aboard!
Beautiful! I loved this ,following the paths of some of my favorite authors, thank you so much!
Thank you Liz 😊
