Two of our tours carry you east, out of the Lake District entirely and into a different landscape — the moors above Haworth and the Yorkshire Dales. This page is the practical side: what's out there, when to go, and how the day works.
Looking for the writers' story itself? Haworth, the Parsonage and the Brontë sisters are covered on our Literary Lake District hub.
Start here
Both tours leave the Lake District for a full day. They go in different directions, to different counties, for very different reasons.

Questions
Far enough that it's a full day, not an add-on. Both our Brontë Country and All Creatures Great and Small tours are full-day itineraries, travelling out through the Dales or Lancashire and back the same day.
Not as one scheduled tour — each is a full day in its own right, in different directions. If you're staying long enough to do both, we'd simply recommend them as two separate days rather than trying to combine them.
You'll have gentle walking around Haworth village and the Parsonage grounds, and a scenic drive across open moorland between Wycoller and Haworth, taking in the landscape from the vehicle rather than on foot. There's no walk out onto the moor itself.
The Dales run on a different seasonal rhythm to the Lake District — our guide to the best time to visit the Yorkshire Dales goes through it in detail, month by month.
Both are available as scheduled small-group tours, so you don't need a private booking to join one. Private and bespoke versions are also available if you'd prefer your own day.
Not on the scheduled Brontë Country or All Creatures tours — dogs aren't permitted on shared/scheduled tours. Well-behaved dogs can be accommodated on a private or bespoke version of either tour by prior arrangement, though some stops may not be dog-friendly. Assistance dogs are always welcome.
Book a scheduled tour, or tell us which theme matters to you and we'll build a private day around it.
