Respondent: The Great Northern Railway Trail Development Group

The Great Northern Railway Trail (GNRT) is in a tourist hotspot regarding the Bronte and railway heritage. The Bronte literary heritage caters for many visitors to the area. Both Haworth and Thornton hold strong connections with the Brontes. The GNRT already links Thornton, and the progression of the route will ensure that Haworth is also connected to provide another opportunity to encourage active travel.
The railway heritage is also strong in this Bronte country and our Trail, running along a former railway line, complements the existing Keighley and Worth Valley Railway and other railway attractions in the Keighley area.
