    Wuthering Heights is set on the Yorkshire moors of England, and it appears that Wuthering heights and Thrushcross Grange pass through a series of owners throughout the novel beginning with Mr. Earnshaw, passing to his son, Hindley Earnshaw, and then after Heathcliff leaves and returns mysteriously wealthy and educated to take up residence at Wuthering Heights, he gambles Hindley out of all his possessions, including Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange.

    I think you are asking specifically what the two locations are, right? So in addition to what has already been said about Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, I will simply add that the two places are large estates, each consisting of a fine house and the surrounding property.

    Wuthering Heights is the name of the property and house originally owned by Mr. Earnshaw and eventually passed to Heathcliff; Thrushcross Grange, the estate neighboring Wuthering Heights, is the property owned by the Linton family (at the beginning of the novel) where the home of Edgar Linton is located.
