"This pioneering nature reserve in West Yorkshire has been making waves after recently being named one of the wonders of the world to visit in 2026 by esteemed international travel magazine, Condé Nast Traveller.

"The picturesque reserve was established in May 2025 as part of King Charles' initiative of 25 National Nature Reserves (#NNRs), designed to conserve wildlife and celebrate UK landscapes by providing enhanced protection to the unique topography within these designated areas.

"Covering 3,148 acres (1,274 hectares) - roughly double the size of Ilkley Moor - the reserve connects eight natural sites within the Bradford and #SouthPennines area, including the famous #Penistone Country Park in #Haworth, once home to the #Brontë sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne."
