Features of the Landscape: Japanese Signposts

Perhaps the most peculiar feature of the landscape hereabouts is the presence of Japanese signposts on the moors.

The Bronte sisters and their books are so popular in Japan that a continual stream of visitors from the east flocks to Haworth and the surrounding countryside.

It’s pretty easy to get lost on the moors; so, in an attempt to help disoriented Japanese, the local authority has added Japanese script to the moorland signs.

Bronte fact is sometimes stranger than Bronte fiction!
