Visit iconic literary destinations and movie locations in Yorkshire in Northern England. Darley Newman takes you to the Bronte Parsonage, where the Bronte sisters wrote classic books like Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre. Tour this home in the village of Haworth with Ann Dinsdale, who shares the sisters’ unconventional upbringing and groundbreaking achievements. Join Darley to walk amid the dramatic moors, made famous by Wuthering Heights. Next, Darley meets the real-life Calendar Girls in a pub in the Yorkshire Dales. Tricia Stewart and Angela Baker share the heartwarming story behind their iconic calendar used to raise money for leukemia research and later made into a hit movie starring Helen Mirren and Julie Walters. The journey continues with stops for England’s best fish and chips at Bizzie Lizzie’s in Skipton and an exploration of historic landmarks like Bolton Abbey.
