‘Moor’ comes from the Saxon word for marsh. Many now use the word for any open, treeless area which looks natural. They are distinguished by the distinctive vegetation resulting from their acid soils. So, to be true to the original meaning of the word, we try to keep the word ‘moors’ for wild-looking, open areas where there are wet, acid soils.
