Heavy rain has caused a massive landslide just yards from a world-famous Bronte shrine.
Hundreds of tonnes of peat and debris swept down Haworth Moor near Top Withens.
The dramatic incident, believed to have been sparked by last week's storm, has destroyed a large section of the moor once trodden by the literary sisters.
The landslide passed immediately behind Top Withens, but amazingly the derelict farmhouse - thought to be the inspiration for Emily Bronte's classic novel Wuthering Heights - was untouched.
Thousands of people from across the world make the trek to the isolated spot every year.
A section of the Pennine Way and a footpath between Bronte Waterfalls and Top Withens have been affected, but are still negotiable with care.
Bradford Council's countryside and rights of way service will carry out work to clear and reinstate the paths.
Countryside officer David Parsons said: "The last time I can recall anything like this was when Bronte Bridge got washed away in 1989."
