Top Withins is a ruined farmhouse on Haworth Moor, near Haworth in West Yorkshire, 420 metres above sea level. It is associated with Emily Brontë's 1847 novel Wuthering Heights, and its remote, exposed position gives a real sense of the moorland setting she wrote about.

Tip: Read the plaque on the wall: it explains the link, and the limits of the link, to Wuthering Heights.
