Moorhouse, Cumbria Weather
About Moorhouse, Cumbria
Moorhouse emerges from the flat, industrious horizon of the Solway Plain, a quiet collection of dwellings defined by the sparse, cold light of the north. It lies 1.8 miles north of Wigton (from Wigton: bearing 8°T, OS grid NY 259 511), and is situated north-east of Oulton village. The landscape here is defined by an expansive, open sky that seems to press down upon the fields, lending a singular clarity to the horizon. To the north, the waters of Martin Tarn offer a reflective stillness, catching the grey clouds that drift perpetually over the heavy, damp earth. Moorhouse remains tethered to this agricultural temperament, where the drainage of the land dictates the shape of the hedgerows and the path of the narrow lanes. A short distance to the west, Oulton Moss SSSI preserves a fragile, sodden ecology of peat and moss that has resisted the encroaching industry of the modern age. The air in Moorhouse carries a sharp, clean chill, moving unimpeded across the low-lying plains as if the land were still waiting for the tide to return. Such geography demands a stoic resilience from those who inhabit these sparse reaches, where the primary movement is the slow rotation of the seasons.
