The setting is fabulous. Is that a real village or a film set?

And the fact that I think that it was Charlotte that said earlier that to be heard (in literature) that they needed to walk invisible.
Yep.

sigh. This Charlotte could never have written 'Jane Eyre'.

Half and half.... When you see the shops it's the real village at the top of the hill.

It's beautiful. Hard to believe it could retain it's look after all these years.

Go there out of season, and avoid school groups..... It's a lovely village when there are no "tourists". You can then go on the Worth Valley Steam Railway

Not the same place although they look very similar. The Hovis ad you may be thinking of was filmed in Shaftesbury, Dorset : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgjLJSuGPt8

The car park is quite pricey (there is only one), but if you like walking.....

I wish it had just focused on the sisters. Their story is a lot more interesting.

Am quite impressed with the actor playing Branwell and he has done quite a few things: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1835523/

Don't know where you live but you would need to get a train to Keighley, then the Worth Valley Railway.
