harrycatcat1 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 What do you call Matlock moor - The FC land off Wirestone lane or the golf club area? To be exact it was off Harewood Road where it runs parallel with Beeley Lane so really Beeley Moor but for the purposes of the forum folks know where Matlock is, or some would.

Just the once - forgot Beeley hill was close for roadworks a few months back and had to divert through Holymoorside so went across the moor and saw it there.
