Top Withens, Stone farmhouse ruins in West Yorkshire, England.
The remaining walls of Top Withens stand against the backdrop of moorland hills, with weathered stone blocks marking its original structure.
The farmhouse dates back to the 17th century and remained inhabited until the 1920s before falling into disrepair on the Yorkshire moors.
The location and setting of Top Withens influenced Emily Bronte's depiction of the Earnshaw family residence in her novel Wuthering Heights.
Visitors can reach the ruins through a 2.5-mile walking trail starting from Cemetery Road in Haworth, following signs along the Bronte Way.
The farmhouse sits at an elevation where strong winds regularly sweep across the moors, creating particular sounds through the stone remains.
