What is the Wild Moor?
The Wild Moor is an amalgamation of the tempestuous landscapes that provoke windswept tales. It is for those of us who seek refuge from the modern world and crave a return to a life with deeper meaning and connection to the land and the secrets and the stories they inspire.
This is a place for people who embrace the darkness of winter and the mud of spring. Who welcome the sting of sleet on cheek and the scratch of bramble on forearm.
The air here is bracing with the scent of wet peat and distant rain. The wind tears across the granite crags, where heather clings to the face. It is an austere, ancient place where the majesty of blackthorn hedgerow bustles aside the of lichen on a dry-stone wall.
The Wild Moor is a place of scree and cairn, of tarn and burn, of ghyll and fell.
More than anything, it is a place that shapes the narrative of our existence. It is both the canvas and the artist of the most spectacular literature available to man. And, at the end of a ramble through dell and dale, the Wild Moor is a place of peace. To step out of the wind and in front of a heath, where warm flames an amber tea provide the sanctuary you need to rest and to read.
