Moorside breathes the open sky, a scatter of homes on County Durham's rolling terrain. It lies 2.7 km west-south-west of Consett (from Consett: bearing 238°T, OS grid NZ 085 495), and is situated north-east of Castleside village. The light here, when it breaks through the frequent cloud, can possess a peculiar, almost luminous quality, bleaching the grey stone of older dwellings and lending an ethereal sheen to the surrounding fields. One might imagine the occasional farmer, pausing his work, gazing out at the vast expanse of sky and feeling the immensity of it all. The landscape, shaped by ancient geological forces and more recent agricultural endeavours, offers a quiet, unassuming beauty, a place where the wind whispers its ceaseless tales across the land.
