The final stage of the latest print and now fully dried. Whatever the merits of this ruins' claim to be Wuthering Heights it certainly sits in atmospheric and romantic isolation and draws a steady stream of tourists. Although on the day that my daughter and I hiked up to it we sat and ate our lunch beside it and were the only people there. Hikers following the Pennine Way pass along in front of the building. Carly and I followed the footpath up to it from the Haworth road. The Bronte connection attracts a lot of visitors to the area around Haworth from Japan so on the wilds of this Yorkshire Moor, the footpath signs are written in both English and Japanese.
