For some, September offers the chance for a last-minute sunny getaway, but others love to embrace the colder weather. For autumn fans, there’s no better time to dig out their knitwear, enjoy hot chocolates, and plan a cosy weekend away.
Travel lovers looking for a UK staycation might wish to consider Haworth, West Yorkshire. The charming village is famous for its literary history, as the former home of the Brontë sisters. It’s also said to offer the “cosiest autumnal day out.”
Recommending the destination on TikTok, @thecosy.home shared a video heaping praise on the quaint village. Captioning the video, which received over one million views, the visitor said: “For the cosiest autumnal day out, you must visit Haworth in Yorkshire. From the Cabinet of Curiosities to the Brontë Parsonage, there is so much to do.”
Her video showcased Haworth’s picturesque streets and some of its popular attractions, including The Cabinet of Curiosities, a former Victorian apothecary shop.
Other attractions include the Brontë Parsonage Museum, home to the world’s largest collection of Brontë items, and the Brontë Waterfall, ideal for walkers keen to explore the village’s rugged scenery.
The cosy shops and cobbled streets certainly made an impression on social media users. Replying to @thecosy.home’s video, someone commented: “Haworth is a literal postcard.” The blogger replied: “It is! So beautiful in so many ways.”

Anyone planning a visit can find more information about the village’s shops and attractions on Tripadvisor. For instance, the Brontë Parsonage Museum has thousands of reviews which could offer helpful insights for visitors making an itinerary.
One impressed reviewer wrote: “A must for a Bronte fan. The parsonage is set out as it was during the Bronte’s time there. It’s a self guided tour, but there are guides on hand who are very informative and bring the experience to life. The village of Haworth is also very pretty with many cafes and pubs. You can also walk up to see the steam railway. All in all, highly recommended.”
Someone else shared: “The museum was the highlight of our visit to Haworth. Full of fascinating information and artefacts from the Brontë family. Very moving in parts. The staff are very knowledgeable and happily answered all of our questions. I will also highly recommend visiting the church next door to see the Brontë chapel and the very atmospheric cemetery.”
