Moorhouse breathes the quiet air of Cumbria's northern reaches. It lies 2.8 km north of Wigton (from Wigton: bearing 8°T, OS grid NY 259 511), and is situated north-east of Oulton village. Fields, broad and green under wide skies, fold gently around this small collection of dwellings, their surfaces catching the shifting light like watered silk. The lanes that thread through Moorhouse are often edged with a rough, ancient stone, weathered by countless seasons. A sense of peaceful continuity pervades the place, a quiet understanding between the land and those who dwell upon it, where the distant hills seem to watch over the scattered farmsteads.
