Wuthering Heights Filming Locations

Emerald Fennell’s new adaptation of Wuthering Heights arrives in cinemas on February 13, with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi stepping into the roles of Catherine and Heathcliff for one of literature’s most enduring love stories. But while casting headlines are inevitable, early attention is quietly drifting toward another star of the film: the landscape itself.

Malham Cove 2
Yorkshire Dales

Shot across the Yorkshire Dales to preserve Emily Brontë’s raw, windswept atmosphere, production took in Arkengarthdale and Swaledale’s remote moors, the stone cottages of Low Row, the dramatic gothic arches of Surrender Bridge and the surrounding villages, with nearby Reeth serving as the production’s base camp. Together, these locations bring the novel’s ferocity to life wild, romantic, and distinctly Northern.

It is these scenes that Brontë scholars, literature fans, and style-savvy travellers are already plotting to revisit. For those considering their own pilgrimage to Brontë country, three inns across the Dales offer characterful bases for walking, exploring, and absorbing the region’s literary heritage.

Where to Stay: Inns with Character, Fires, and Proper Walks at the Doorstep

The Lister Arms, Malham – A traditional coaching inn a short walk from Malham Cove—famously featured in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows—The Lister Arms blends rural comfort with quietly elevated touches. With 23 rooms, open fires, cask ales, and an AA Rosette-winning seasonal menu, it leans into classic countryside hospitality without feeling dated. Its on-site bakery produces much-talked-about pies (and homemade dog biscuits), while the walker- and dog-friendly ethos makes it a favourite with outdoor types.

The Buck Inn, Malham – Also in Malham, The Buck Inn offers a more casual and rustic overnight option. Popular with walkers, cyclists, and younger travellers, it provides 12 simple rooms, classic pub food, and immediate access to some of the Dales’ best walking routes. Think unfussy, no-nonsense, and ideal for those planning to spend most of their time outdoors.

A Literary Landscape Worth Visiting

With Wuthering Heights poised to introduce a new generation of viewers to the bleak romance of the Yorkshire Dales, a renewed wave of interest in literary tourism feels inevitable. For those craving windswept walks, slow fireside evenings, and landscapes that have shaped British art and literature for centuries, the timing could not be more compelling.
