Upper Moor Side West Yorkshire Map

About Upper Moor Side

Upper Moor Side exhales a quiet, contented air, a place where the fields seem to hold a particular shade of green under the West Yorkshire sky. It lies 3.2 km north-west of Morley (from Morley: bearing 315°T, OS grid SE 240 303), and is situated north-north-west of Gildersome village. The land here rolls with a gentle, unpretentious grace, its horizons softened by the distant hum of Leeds and the closer, more intimate scent of damp earth after a spring shower. Evidence of its agricultural past whispers from the names of lanes and the occasional sturdy stone farmhouse that still stands guard. The light, when it breaks through the clouds, often possesses a rare clarity, illuminating the hedgerows and the distant silhouettes of older, more substantial buildings in a way that feels both ancient and immediate. Upper Moor Side offers a contemplative pause, a moment to appreciate the subtle textures of a landscape that has been shaped by generations of quiet industry and enduring settlement.
