Welcome to the website of the Rotary Club of Haworth & Worth Valley. We are situated high in the moors of in West Yorkshire. Haworth is famous as the home of the Bronte sisters who lived at the Bronte Parsonage just behind the church at the top of the cobbled main street.

 

                                             

The area is renowned for its outstanding beauty, with the walks across the Penistone Hill  and moors to Top Withens via the Bronte Bridge and Falls and with locations such as the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway it is regularly used for film locations, especially period settings such as 1969/70 EMI Production ‘The Railway Children’.

                                                  

Our Rotary Club started in 1999 and since that time has become a major contributor to local, national and international communities. We regularly take part in local events, such as the extremely popular Haworth 40’s Weekend where we ‘Pluck the Duck’ and ‘Shear the Sheep’, this gives a great opportunity to discuss and promote the values of Rotary within our community.

Haworth is a fabulous place to visit and we will always welcome prospective new members and visiting Rotarians.
