About Blackmoor

Blackmoor offers a quiet English presence in the Wigan district, a place where the sky seems to hold a particular shade of grey on most days. It lies 1.4 km south-south-east of Tyldesley (from Tyldesley: bearing 163°T, OS grid SD 695 007), and is situated north-north-west of Astley village. The land here gently slopes, a subtle rise that hints at the broader Lancashire plain, and the air often carries the faint, earthy scent of damp soil from the surrounding fields. Once, perhaps, this was a landscape where the hum of industry echoed, but now a softer quietude prevails, punctuated by the distant call of birds and the rustle of leaves. The houses, predominantly brick-built, stand with a stoic resilience, their gardens a patchwork of carefully tended blooms that offer small, vibrant explosions of colour against the muted tones of the architecture. Blackmoor’s presence is unobtrusive, a testament to the enduring nature of its quiet corners.
