A trip back in time to an award winning garden and 1660 house enjoyed by Charlotte Bronte and her friend Mary Taylor, daughter of a cloth merchant.
A museum illustrating the life of prosperous middle-class cloth manufacturers and merchants. Owned by the Taylor family until 1920.
Mary Taylor was a friend of Charlotte Bronte and the House and family were the basis for the 'Yorke' family of Briarmains in the novel Shirley.
Red House Museum makes an ending point for the Bronte Trail from Haworth and can be done as one trip with Oakwell Hall Country Park. There is plenty of parking space and a childrens playground suitable for toddlers next to the carpark.
There is wheelchair access to gardens, exhibitions and RedHouse ground floor.
