A new adaptation of the classic Gothic novel Wuthering Heights is being released in cinemas on 14 February 2026 – just in time for Valentine's Day.
Emerald Fennell (who was behind the hit film Saltburn) is the latest director to adapt Emily Brontë's only novel, which was published in 1847. The Brontë's, sisters Emily, Charlotte (Jane Eyre and The Professor) and Anne (The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Agnes Grey), are synonymous with Yorkshire as their family lived in Haworth on the Yorkshire Dales.

Where is Wuthering Heights filmed?
Yorkshire Dales
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the new adaptation has mainly been filmed in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The book is set on the Yorkshire moors, with the wild landscape as much of a character as Cathy and Heathcliff – as well as reflecting their tempestuous relationship.
The BBC reported that the valleys Arkengarthdale and Swaledale, as well as the village Low Row, were specifically used for filming. Local landmark Surrender Bridge, on the Coast to Coast path, was used too – it also appeared in the opening credits for the original BBC adaptation of All Creatures Great and Small (although not in the later Channel 5 adaptation).
Hertfordshire
When not on location in the Yorkshire Dales, most of the filming for Wuthering Heights took place at Sky Studios Elstree, in Hertfordshire.
