Bridestones Moor: Striking landscape that will feature in Wuthering Heights is no stranger to screen
Bridestones Moor, famed for its interesting rock formations, sweeping moorland vistas and wildlife, is set to star on the big screen.
The striking landscape will be part of Emerald Fennel’s upcoming adaptation of the Emily Brontë novel Wuthering Heights.
The film, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, filmed up at the location in March last year.
Bridestones Moor is no stranger to film crews and has featured in a number of projects over the years.
The beautiful location was on our TV screens just last year in an episode of BBC’s Riot Women, penned by Calderdale writer and director Sally Wainwright.
In The Gallows Pole, a BBC series based on the story of the Cragg Vale Coiners, the moor was used as the setting for Stagg Moors.
Last year the 114-acre expanse above Todmorden was officially brought under community ownership.
The area is managed by Bridestones Rewilded, a community interest company led by local ecologists, naturalists and residents.
The group is planning a mass ‘wuther’ on Valentine’s Day.
They hope to raise awareness of the importance of peat moors to the environment.
A ‘wuther’ is a coordinated group dance to Kate Bush’s 1978 song, Wuthering Heights.
