Monk Moors Cumbria Map

About Monk Moors

Monk Moors exhales a quietude that seems to settle on the very air. It lies 13.2 km west-north-west of Broughton in Furness (from Broughton in Furness: bearing 292°T, OS grid SD 090 925), and is situated west-south-west of Waberthwaite village. This small hamlet, embraced by the sweeping, often windswept landscapes of Cumbria, feels like a place where time itself might pause, especially when the low afternoon sun casts long shadows across the rough, heather-strewn ground. The houses themselves, built of sturdy local stone, seem to lean into the prevailing breezes, their slate roofs glinting dully. Though modest in size, Monk Moors carries a subtle history, a sense of lives lived out against a backdrop of elemental beauty. It is a place where the sky feels vast and the silence can be profound, broken only by the bleating of sheep or the distant cry of a curlew.
