Wuthering Heights is a hill in the book of the same name by Emily Bronte, a nineteenth century novel. Although the name of the hill was made up by Emily, it was based on the actual hill where Emily used to go and sit and play as both a child and when she grew up. This hill which is called " Top Withens" is about two or three miles from the Bronte parsonage, where Emily lived with her sisters, among them Charlotte and Anne, her Brother Branwell and her Father Patrick. The parsonage is in Haworth a town in West Yorkshire in the north of England. The Bronte family are buried in the crypt in the church where Patrick Bronte was the vicar in the nineteenth century, opposite the parsonage. People from all over the world visit Haworth where the streets around the old church and parsonage still have the same pubs and apothocary that was used back then. Very Victorian. I hope this has helped.

Wuthering Heights, the house, is believed to have been at least partially based on the now demolished High Sunderland Hall, Halifax (Emily Bronte taught for a short time at Law Hill, Southowram, near Halifax).
The location of Wuthering Heights is popularly believed to be that of Top Withins on Haworth Moor - a popular walk for visitors to Haworth. Top Withins ,itself, however, was a small farmhouse, nowhere near on the scale of the fictional Wuthering Heights.
