Yorkshire and great writing have always belonged together. The windswept moors above Haworth shaped the Brontë sisters; the county's abbeys, cities and coastline have inspired poets and novelists for centuries. For anyone who travels with a book in hand, Yorkshire is one of England's most rewarding literary destinations — and we were delighted to see that recognised in the national press.
Expedition Yorkshire in Reader's Digest
Expedition Yorkshire was featured in Reader's Digest, in Alice Gawthrop's article “How to spend a weekend in Yorkshire (for literature lovers!)”. It's a lovely read: a guide to the county's literary heritage, its bookish landmarks, and how a trip here can be built around the stories that Yorkshire has given the world — with a mention of how we help literature fans experience it all first-hand.

Experience literary Yorkshire for yourself
The best way to understand Yorkshire's stories is to stand in the landscapes that inspired them. Our private Brontë Country tour takes you to Haworth, the Parsonage and the moors that shaped Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre — and if you'd like to read more first, our journal pieces on the real lives of the Brontë sisters and the Wuthering Heights 2026 film are a good place to start.
Every tour is private and shaped around you, led by local guides who know the county's literary corners intimately. To plan a bookish weekend of your own, get in touch.
