About Side of the Moor

Side of the Moor breathes the expansive air of Lancashire, a place where the whispers of the Pennines begin to stir. It lies 4.5 km north-east of Bolton (from Bolton: bearing 38°T, OS grid SD 743 126), and is situated south-west of Affetside village. The gentle slopes here, where the cultivated land yields to the wilder heath, often catch the soft, diffused light of the North West, painting the scattered dwellings in subtle hues. Though not a formal centre of great renown, Side of the Moor possesses a quiet permanence, its character shaped by the enduring landscape and the modest labours of its inhabitants. One might imagine, on a clear day, the distant hum of the wider conurbation a mere murmur against the wider silence of the moorland edge.
