Wuthering Heights | West Yorkshire, U.K.

The group will discuss Wuthering Heights through the theme of ‘imagination.’ During the trip, pilgrims will discover the incredible inner world of the Brontë sisters, explore the vivid landscape that inspired Emily Brontë to write Wuthering Heights, and delve deep into the whirlwind story of Catherine and Heathcliff, filled with passion, loss and revenge. Participants will visit Haworth, where the Brontës grew up, and the Brontë Parsonage Museum, walking in the sisters’ footsteps as they contemplate their legacy. Through total immersion in the environment and daily discussions, they will harness the power of their imagination for confidence and creative expression.

Wuthering Heights is uniquely aligned with the landscape that inspired it: unruly, harsh, and stunningly beautiful. Like the wild and rolling Yorkshire moors, the novel’s heroes Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff are neither cozy nor sweet, but instead immensely, irresistibly compelling. Sanne Vliegenthart is an ideal leader for this trip: a stalwart fan of both Wuthering Heights and the Brontë sisters, she has actually made this pilgrimage previously as an individual traveler.
