Top Withens, Haworth Moor. A place of pilgrimage for people seeking the soul of Wuthering Heights. The name Withens (or Withern as it appears on pre 19th century maps) is likely from the old Norse 'Vith er' meaning house in the woods. Records of its use as a farm date back to the 15th century but it now lies derelict and isolated at the head of a long valley leading down through the moor. |
