Ashmount Country House

Yorkshire B&B in the heart of Brontë country

Activities

See & Do
You’re just a couple of minutes from Haworth’s cobbled high street and the Brontë family parsonage. This now a fascinating museum dedicated to the family’s life and times.

Wander through the B&B's gardens with their statuary and cherubs, and walk on the wild moors of Wuthering Heights – the views from the top of craggy Top Withens will (literally) blow you away. Once you’ve had your fill of rugged Heathcliffe country, ride on the Keighley & Worth Valley steam railway through scenic countryside, or explore Skipton Castle and the Yorkshire sculpture park.

Diary Dates
May
Get your dancing shoes on for Ashmount’s 1940’s weekend. The jitterbug, dashing uniforms and plenty of Glen Miller.

Late October
Sampling the goods should keep you warm on a brisk autumn day at the local Real Ale Festival.
