Location
The rural residential village of Moira sits within the National Forest approx halfway between Nottingham and the West Midlands conurbations with the M42 running through its centre joining the M1 with the M6/M5/M40. The 120 acres (49 ha) award winning National Forest Millennium Discovery Centre, now called Conkers, is on the site of Rawdon Colliery. Its visitor centre features a borehole-based heating and cooling system. Moira Junction Local Nature Reserve occupies 8.5 acres (3.4 ha) of former railway sidings nearby. Moira Furnace is a restored 19th century blast furnace. A 1.5 miles (2.4 km) section of the Ashby Canal adjacent to the furnace has also been restored and is now a popular recreational facility for the area. The furnace site also includes craft workshops and a small nature reserve. Both the Youth Hostels Association's National Forest youth hostel and the Camping and Caravanning Club's National Forest campsite are in Moira and opened in 2008. Moira is located 3 miles from the Historic Market Town of Ashby de la Zouch famed for its castle ruins and links with Sir Walter Scotts “Ivanhoe”. The area has strong demographics with the LA ( North West Leicestershire DC) deriving almost 70% of its GDP from tourism.
