  • 1. Moira Furnace Swadlincote
    Moira is a former mining village about 2.5 miles southwest of Ashby-de-la-Zouch in North West Leicestershire, England. The village is about 3 miles south of Swadlincote and forms part of the boundary with Derbyshire. The population is included in the civil parish of Ashby Woulds. For centuries North West Leicestershire has been quarried and mined for coal, limestone, granite and brick clay, and its environmental damage was one of the reasons that it was chosen as the site for the National Forest, which is part of a Government-funded programme to create more woodland. Proximate villages include Donisthorpe, Overseal, Oakthorpe and Spring Cottage.
