The route has been designed to link places that have strong associations with the writings of the Brontë family, incorporating places that feature in their work, such as Oakwell Hall, Charlotte Brontë's inspiration for Fieldhead in her 1849 novel, Shirley. The route passes through Thornton, where the Brontë children were born, and Haworth and Haworth Parsonage, where the family lived.[2] Literary tourists often join the Way at Haworth, passing through Penistone Hill Country Park and open moorland to see the Brontë Waterfall and Top Withens, Emily Brontë's possible inspiration for the home in her 1847 novel Wuthering Heights.
As well as its literary associations, the Way passes through areas of industrial heritage interest.
There are public transport links to the route and its four main sections. Two guidebooks are available.
