LITTLE IRELAND


Cleator Moor is a town in West Cumbria, UK, which was born from the ancient village of Cleator. The moorland of Cleator was barren at that time, overlooked by the 352 metre Dent Fell. A few farms tended the stark land. In the 17th Century, Iron Ore was first extracted from beneath the ground, bringing about a huge revolution that helped modernise industry across the globe. Prosperity gave birth to the town of Cleator Moor. Thousands came to the town looking for work - many were from Ireland, fleeing a devastating potato famine. The Irish Diaspora gave rise to the moniker, Little Ireland.

ABOUT CLEATOR MOOR


Cleator Moor has a population of around 7,000. The town and neighbouring village of Cleator are overlooked by Dent Fell which is on the fringe of the National Park; Dent is the first fell that you encounter on the Wainwright Coast to Coast walk. The Sea to Sea (C2C) cycle network also passes through Cleator Moor via the disused railway which is now part of the National Cycle Network. South from Cleator, towards the town of Egremont is Longlands Lake a local beauty spot and haven for wildlife, the lake is set in the former iron ore mine.
