Brontë Waterfall, Natural cascade near Haworth, England.
Brontë Waterfall is a small cascade dropping over rocky steps in the moorland near Haworth, Yorkshire. The water flows through South Dean Beck as it passes between farmland and open hills.
The stone bridge beneath the waterfall was destroyed during a major flood in May 1989. Reconstruction took place in 1990 using new stone slabs brought to the remote site.
The waterfall served as a meeting point for the Brontë sisters, where they gathered to discuss their literary works and future novels.
The waterfall can be reached via several walking routes starting from nearby villages. The paths can become muddy and slippery after rain, so proper hiking boots are recommended.
In March 1990, a military helicopter delivered stone slabs to rebuild the bridge at this remote location. The unusual delivery method was necessary because standard vehicles could not reach the site easily.
