Moor Row is a small former mining village in Cumberland, situated in West Cumbria on the coastal plain just inland from the western edge of the Lake District. It sits between the larger settlements of Whitehaven, Egremont and Cleator Moor, giving it a quiet, rural-feel while still being connected to local towns.
The village grew rapidly in the 19th century with coal and iron ore mining and associated railways, and traces of that industrial heritage still shape the landscape and community identity. Today Moor Row is largely post‑industrial, with many residents commuting to nearby workplaces such as Sellafield or working in local light industry and services; it retains a strong village character and community spirit common to West Cumbria.
