Moody Yorkshire to star in Margot Robbie’s Wuthering Heights

The moody moorland and pretty villages of Yorkshire are the romantic backdrop of the film Wuthering Heights, which is set to be released in Australia on Thursday, February 12, 2026.

Based on Emily Bronte’s novel, it stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, and is directed by Emerald Fennell.

Wuthering Heights film locations are in both the Yorkshire Dales and the West Yorkshire countryside.

It was filmed in Arkengarthdale, Swaledale and the village of Low Row.

Yorkshire Dales National Park has a starring role.

The Visit England team have come up with a two-day touring itinerary to immerse yourself in the movie, its mood and locations.

There are plenty of good places to stop — Haworth, Hawes, Arkengarthdale, Low Row and Top Withens.

Alongside confirmed filming locations, it includes places closely linked to Bronte’s life and the landscapes that inspired the novel.

And here is the itinerary, in their own words…

TWO-DAY TRIP

Day 1

Valleys, villages and famous film locations.

Go in search of filming locations in the Yorkshire Dales.

Begin your trip with a circular hike through one of the most beautiful parts of the Yorkshire Dales to see the sunrise. Your adventure begins at Reeth, and features both Arkengarthdale and Swaledale, two bewitching limestone valleys that steal the limelight. The landscape here is instantly recognisable from the 2026 film. It’s easy to feel like a windswept Catherine or Heathcliff in the throes of romantic torment.

Day 2

Bronte Country, shopping in Haworth, and walking the Bronte Way.

Step into the world of the Brontes.

Literary lover or not, the Bronte Parsonage Museum is a must as it tells a very human story of an immensely talented family marred by death and tragedy. The Parsonage is where Emily Bronte penned Wuthering Heights. It’s also home to manuscripts, letters, poetry and personal objects that bring the world of the Bronte sisters vividly to life. Pause in the garden to take in the moors, the same view Emily, Charlotte and Anne would have gazed upon while dreaming up ideas for their stories.
