2: From Haworth to Leeds
Ian McMillan goes on a literary tour of Yorkshire, from The Bront毛s to Ted Hughes.
Poet, radio presenter, and Yorkshireman Ian McMillan continues his literary tour around God's Own Country to visit the streets, towns, cities and moors that have inspired so much classic writing.
From Ian's own home town of Barnsley and his own literary hero Barry Hines, to the Moors of Haworth that will forever belong to The Bront毛s, we're exploring a county bursting at the seams with writers and writing.
