Welcome to Moorhey

Moorhey is a small village located in the county of Lancashire, England. It is situated near the town of Skelmersdale and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, making it an ideal place for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

One of the main attractions of Moorhey is its stunning natural beauty. The village is surrounded by rolling hills, lush green fields, and picturesque woodlands.
