That first 38 seconds gave me feelings of Downton Abbey. The music was similar and the travel along the route was reminiscent of the Downton opening. But of course, this Lady Mary is far kinder than Mary Crawley.
I visited Haworth, for the first time, last month. I stayed 3 days and as well as 3 visits to the Parsonage, also walked to the Bronte falls and Top Withens. Juliet Barker's biography of the Brontes was my inspiration. This video by Mary, brings my experience right back to me, just the correct blend of information, views and accompanying music. Brilliant, well done Mary. Deserves a much wider viewing.
What can I say, you manage to visually and mentally transport me every time. Love the way you include yourself climbing the fences or having a bite to eat so we can picture ourselves in that very place. Also love that sheep are always present, they’re such a lovely peaceful creature. I always get excited when I see your post because I know the video will be amazing. Thank you for taking us there. 🙏🏻🤗❤️
Your country is really beautiful and rich in history. I do really appreciate the time you devote to your videos. Thank you so much for taking us with you. Many thanks from Tennessee, USA
Betty Jo from where in Tennessee. You follow a lot of same hikers. Miss Mary sure has shown us some absolutely beautiful scenery from her country as well as here in USA. I first found Miss Mary's videos at the end of her PCT journey. Absolutely fell in love with her just being her self and so down to earth. Sue from North Carolina, USA 🦋❤
Never read the Brontes but I know a charming scenic walk with a delightful, well-informed host when I see one. Bravo Mary. I'd like to share your delicious-sounding lunch. Your physical and intellectual energy is inspiring, and you have that knack of making us feel we're really there.
Myself and my Wife Amanda walked up to the Bronte waterfalls yesterday and spent some time around the bridge soaking up the atmosphere. After this we went to the Cemetery in Howarth. I just couldn't find Tabatha's grave but I remembered that you covered it in your vlog. So there I am in the Cemetery skipping through the vlog until I found the exact spot. If it wasn't for you we would have missed it. Thanks again Mary.
Kinda sci-fi- ish that Mary is the only soul there !! Did ya'll notice just how clean the town & streets were ???? Someone has pride in their town 🙂😀 MARY, ur mind is a marvel that u can remember all that information and then b able to speak as if chit chatting with a mate 🤔😁. U r amazing 😅 It must be the food u eat 👅 ... Stimulating brain cells !!! lol. The BBC will be calling rather soon I'm d think. Looking 2 signing u up !!!!!! But seriously what a great job u do !!!!! I found ALL of it to be of interest !!!!! I can imagine the conversations around their dinner table with all those writers in one family !!! Keep on rocking the free world Mary 😀
Thank you so much Traky boy! Learning all the information does take a while so I am really pleased it comes over as natural (I do usually sneak a peak at my notes just before I turn the camera on though!). If only the BBC would stumble across me, they could help with frizzy hair, make-up, lighting and sound...maybe one day🤣 So glad you enjoyed it and thanks again for your support and wonderful comments😁
Gooood morning Mary ! it's all so much older than our america. That time period isn't as prominate in our thoughts as other times and places and yet sooo much is really due to it !!! And such a hard life that we, in our modern times, cannot fully grasp. So much so that alot of great Great literature was written and it gave the people an opportunity to escape in their minds.... what creativity !!!!! we owe them much. so glad to see it kept in historical value thru print and in preservation. nicely done Mary beautiful !!!!!!!!!! Great job girl !!!
Thank you so much Tracy, your comment gave me goosebumps as they really did go through so much and I hadn't thought how reading would have given them that escape they needed😊
Mary, one can easily fancy you as one of the Bronte Sisters -by the way auburn hair Ann, which makes your report so realistic. Yet, Magic too. At the sight of the Heights and the ruins, I said to myself, Hey, this is Catherine Earnshaw, the evr wandering soul, Wooww !
Mary, your delicate sensitivity broad knowledge and delivery is evermore enchanting in such a setting. The music, the rabbit had been reading a section of one of the books so was excused for making a getaway. My black white cat, Bella, came and sat beside me too and watched at one in the morning. My grandfather came from West Yorkshire, a storyteller like no other. Magic.
Thank you darling😘 I think I started you off setting the bar too high with Harry Potter - although you did better than I thought🤣 I think my special Winnie the Pooh book might be the one! 😂
This is such a great video. You have allowed me to feel as though I am there and seeing the Bronte's village and parsonage. Mary, the cemetery gravestones are so beautiful. Thanks for telling us about Tabitha and showing her gravestone. This is one place I would really like to see in person. From your monthly favorites the book "The Bronte's" I purchased and I am reading it now. I now can visualize the buildings and landscape. The stones that are books are a nice touch. The moorlands are beautiful. I noticed in recent videos that you have been wearing purple top and shoes not your normal blue/teal. Purple is my favorite color. But that hue sure matched your surroundings at times. Beautiful and serene scenery on this hike. Thank you Mary, for the wonderful history lesson and hike. Blessings and safe hiking.
Thank you so much Vickie! I appreciate your lovely comments so much and I am glad you are enjoying the videos ☺️ I've just started packing for the Cleveland Way and everything is turquoise again🤣
Hello Mary, I'm planning on hiking & wild camping in Bronte country this springtime. I've been researching the area and your video is the best on UA-cam. You made me feel as though I was with you on your journey. 10/10 excellent content . Thank you.
Thank you for taking me along to the places where I grew up. It is a long way from me now but you have given me the ability to visit once more. Great videos, well done.
Loving the documentary style walk ... I’m walking the Pennine Way at the moment and must have walked out of Edale and over ‘Wuthering Heights’ within a couple of days of you !
A wonderful video Mary of one of my favourite places. You have captured the haunting atmosphere of such a beautiful landscape and all the essence of a fascinating time in history. x
I did a little research afterwards and found they were by an Irish sculptor Martin Heron; www.axisweb.org/p/martinheron/workset/36589-literary-landscape/
Awesome!! A hiking video that features the words 'alcoholism' and 'opioid addiction'!!! You had me already at hiking though!! Keep up the great channel! :)
Having been absent from UA-cam for a while I’m just catching up, what a treat. This is my home turf and so lovely to see it from this perspective, bought the bronte book you recommended too. Thank you for sharing. 💐
Your videos are always fantastic but this one is another step above. Funny how others have mentioned Julia Bradbury because I thought the same :) So well put together with the music and editing and of course your beautiful personality. I had watched Tony Robinson's "Walking through History" and he had an episode on the Brontë sisters, but I learned so much more from your video (no offense to Tony as he is very entertaining and fun to watch). I really appreciate all the work you put into these videos. Thank you so much!!!
I've only just come across this video, as I was looking into buying a drone and wanted to see if anyone else has taken any footage from the skies. I walk my dog up here daily and you're done a cracking job at telling the history of the place. I was born here and my family have lived here for generations. You taught me somethings I never knew about the place ;-) Also it's great to see you visited the Alcomden stones as not many tourists know about them, it was a shame you never showed the ones with all the holes in. @29:40 very brave of you to walk on that rock as it's one hell of a drop down there and can get extremely windy at times, it's unfortunate you didn't keep walking up that way for another few minutes as there's a little waterfall and on the other side there's a few rocks with Emily Bronte and I think Catherine Earnshaw's names inscribed into them. All the best!
That is so kind of you to say so, thanks so much! Thanks for the additional information about the rock and waterfalls, no doubt I will return as it is a lovely area. Have fun with your drone if you get one - I'd love to invest in one in the future so we will see how things go!
@@MarysOutdoorAdventures I'd be happy to go on a walk with you, there's lots of little hidden gems around the place, def get yourself a drone as I think it would add even more great content to your brilliant videos ;-)
Amazing video, I’m heading that way next week, even have ticket to go in the parsonage. Really can’t wait and you’ve pointed out all the important places of interested. Thanks Mary.x
That's a fantastic, really beautiful video of the area! Having lived in Haworth since 1989, and loving the outdoors and long walks, I've been exploring all of this for three decades, and it's lovely to see those places I know in such a well done video! (My top favourite walk is from Haworth to Stanbury, Top Withens, Walshaw, Hardcastle Crags, ending up in Hebden Bridge; but I need to do that one on a day I feel in really good shape! 😁)
So glad you enjoyed it Klaus. It means a lot coming from someone who lives there - I am glad I did it justice! I like the sound of that walk as I have been to Hardcastle Crags and it was fantastic.
I appreciate you commenting on the effort I put in as it was a lot to learn and took a lot of time, so I am really pleased you appreciated it. Thank you very much Steven😊
Mary, thank you so much for this video. Like a lot of Americans, I read and loved the Brontes' novels as a teenager (they were taught to us in high school English lit class) and re-read them as an adult, which deepened my appreciation of them. Since moorland is rather where I live, I could only imagine what a moor looked like and how it would symbolize the wild, romantic nature of the characters. Thanks to you, I have now actually seen the moors for the first time. They would be beautiful even without the literary resonance, truthfully. But I never thought I would see the setting of these much-loved books come alive like this. What a gift you've given us.
Wow, that comment made my day John. Thank you so much. I always hope these videos allow others to see the beauty of places without ever having been. I am so pleased to hear it came alive for you 😊
How apropos to feature the Bronte family in Howarth during a pandemic! Have you read “Crimes of Charlotte Bronte?” Riveting story of betrayal and murder in the Bronte family with a surprise ending. Highly recommend for Bronte and mystery fans. Love your video’s and this is certainly a highlight! Thank you!
What a great walk. I loved the flowers planted in boots at the beginning. I was curious...the graveyard closed in 1883 and the new one opened in 1893, it begs the question what happen to all those who died in between? Thanks for taking us along.
HI MARY, thanks for sharing the video ,is very interesting and beautiful and the sementery some of the head stones they have nice caracter ,good job ✌👍👍👍
A good documentary of your walk. I know that you mention the terrain, but people thinking of walking up there do need to wear suitable clothing for the the weather. It can be very harsh up there with wind and rain. It is often boggy and the stepping stones under water. Only saying as I live local and am speaking from experience. Fair to say too that Top Withens is quite a trek.
Hello Mary, well. Since I'm not British, I didn't quite understand the relationship between Tabby and the Bronte family. The story of the Inconfidentes I can tell you. Incidentally there are on youtube videos of the novela (serial) Liberdade / Liberdade. .Is the history of the Bronte Family known throughout England ? Thanks, bye Ah! And currently in Brazil a TV station is showing a series about independence. Empress Leopoldina much loved by Brazilians
Ecky thump, lass! That were some grand film makin'... haha! Seriously, nice one Mary. No pressure on Derek if you crawled through that cave. Maybe he can dress up like Ralph Fiennes and enact some necromantic frenzy to impress you instead.
I live in an area where the 1939 Hollywood film adaptation of Wuthering Heights was filmed. I was curious about the original location that inspired Emily Brontë's novel, and why my location in southern California was chosen for the film. Your video has helped to answer my questions. Have you seen that film?
@@mikesaunders4775 Hi Mike. Please tell me which scenes you are referring to. Scenes of the W.H. house and the surrounding moor, and of Heathcliff and Cathy climbing up to Penistone Crag were filmed in what is now Thousand Oaks. Those locations are within 1.5 miles of my house. The W.H. house was constructed here for the movie, but apparently was torn down to build residential houses. I am interested in how you acquired the notion that W.H. was filmed in Chatsworth because in the Feb. 19, 1989 issue of the New York Times, A. Scott Berg wrote an article about W.H. which briefly claimed the same thing. I have not been able to contact him to ask about it, which is why I would like to hear what you have to say. If there are some scenes that were filmed in Chatsworth, I would like to know what they are. Most of the Penistone Crag close-up scenes were done in the studio (they would not force Merle Oberon (Cathy) to endure a chilling torrential downpour in Chatsworth, would they?). Maybe there are a couple other Penistone Crag scenes that were filmed in Chatsworth? FWIW IMDb does not list Chatsworth as a filming location for W.H.
@@ItsVideos Hi Fish. I wish I could be more specific about the locations , but I stumbled upon the Chatsworth connection several years ago in an article in one of the English tabloids. These are not always the most reliable sources, but I knew that Lorna Doone. another film set in the moorlands of England was shot at the Iverson Ranch, so Wuthering Heights also being filmed there seemed reasonable. I have tried to confirm this through IMDB, but without success. They do confirm the Thousand Oaks set though. I am a huge fan of westerns and cop shows, many of which I know to have been made in the Chatsworth area(Highway Patrol, Perry Mason, Bonanza etc). Interestingly one of the great tourist attractions in The Peak District is 'Chatsworth House'.
@@mikesaunders4775 I just watched Lorna Doone (1951). I think the chases on horseback were filmed in Chatsworth. They were were reminiscent of American Western television series and films. The waterfall scenes looked like an editing blend of Yosemite Valley and studio shots. Wuthering Heights (1939) did a very good job of capturing the English moor look. The land surrounding the stone house looks very similar to 32:12 in Mary's video. I suspect they may have used this view as a model for the film.
Ah! It looks like the historic cities of MG Tiradentes and Ouro Preto (slopes) 💀 This place resembles a cover of a Black Sabbath album. Water one of the basic fountains of life, Thanks Mary. Ah! At thirty-three minutes and twenty-one seconds, is it a pond? Then the English engineers copied and pasted in Nova Lima MG 😆 Copy and Paste, Entendi 🎩
That first 38 seconds gave me feelings of Downton Abbey. The music was similar and the travel along the route was reminiscent of the Downton opening. But of course, this Lady Mary is far kinder than Mary Crawley.
I thought that about the music when I found it too! Thank you so much Kimberly😊

Scott Berg wrote an article about W.H. which briefly claimed the same thing. I have not been able to contact him to ask about it, which is why I would like to hear what you have to say. If there are some scenes that were filmed in Chatsworth, I would like to know what they are. Most of the Penistone Crag close-up scenes were done in the studio (they would not force Merle Oberon (Cathy) to endure a chilling torrential downpour in Chatsworth, would they?). Maybe there are a couple other Penistone Crag scenes that were filmed in Chatsworth? FWIW IMDb does not list Chatsworth as a filming location for W.H.
@@ItsVideos Hi Fish. I wish I could be more specific about the locations , but I stumbled upon the Chatsworth connection several years ago in an article in one of the English tabloids. These are not always the most reliable sources, but I knew that Lorna Doone. another film set in the moorlands of England was shot at the Iverson Ranch, so Wuthering Heights also being filmed there seemed reasonable. I have tried to confirm this through IMDB, but without success. They do confirm the Thousand Oaks set though. I am a huge fan of westerns and cop shows, many of which I know to have been made in the Chatsworth area(Highway Patrol, Perry Mason, Bonanza etc). Interestingly one of the great tourist attractions in The Peak District is 'Chatsworth House'.
@@mikesaunders4775 I just watched Lorna Doone (1951). I think the chases on horseback were filmed in Chatsworth. They were were reminiscent of American Western television series and films. The waterfall scenes looked like an editing blend of Yosemite Valley and studio shots. Wuthering Heights (1939) did a very good job of capturing the English moor look. The land surrounding the stone house looks very similar to 32:12 in Mary's video. I suspect they may have used this view as a model for the film.
Ah! It looks like the historic cities of MG Tiradentes and Ouro Preto (slopes) 💀 This place resembles a cover of a Black Sabbath album. Water one of the basic fountains of life, Thanks Mary. Ah! At thirty-three minutes and twenty-one seconds, is it a pond? Then the English engineers copied and pasted in Nova Lima MG 😆 Copy and Paste, Entendi 🎩
No it isn't a pond Dalmo, it is a Reservoir called 'Lower Laithe' 😁

I want you to go back and pick up the broken bottle at 32:06
What are the title and artist of the music track at 16:10?
