Stone and Story: Top of Leach Rendezvous

As part of this year’s Heritage Open Days - England’s largest celebration of history and culture - we warmly invite you to join us at the Top of Leach for a moment of quiet reflection on the historic landscape of Rooley Moor.

This event offers us all an opportunity to experience the moor in its unspoiled form: a living heritage shaped by centuries of human and natural history, and a rare example of nature’s own Net Zero initiative.

We invite you to walk the ancient paths, pause at the Cotton Famine Road, and consider the irreplaceable ecological value of this peat-rich upland.

In an age of engineered solutions, Rooley Moor offers a humbler, more enduring alternative, one that stores carbon, supports biodiversity, and connects us to our past.

We hope you will join us in honouring this landscape, and in contemplating the choices that will shape its future.
Please do save the date: Sunday 21st September 2025.
