Stanbury is a small village in the county of West Yorkshire, England, west of Haworth, close to the Pennine Way, and on the River Worth. The sorrounding countryside is mainly moors and farm land, but the Brontė waterfall and Top Withens tourist attraction are within walking distance. Emily Brontė used Top Withens as the model for Wuthering Heights, and nearby Ponden Hall (half a mile from the back end of Stanbury) was the model for Thrushcross Grange in the same book.
There's a school and an Anglican church in Stanbury village. The school caters for primary schooling age children. There are also two pubs in Stanbury itself, The Jennings (sometimes known as The Wuthering) and The Friendly. There's another pub called The Silent Inn located walking distance just outside the back end of the village.
Lumbfoot is a tiny hamlet located 5 minute walking distance from Stanbury.
