Moor
/mʊr/
A moor is a large, open area of land that is often wild and not used for farming, usually covered with grass, heather, and small bushes. It's a place where you might see lots of nature, like birds and other animals, and it can be a bit muddy!
Examples

- The story we read in class took place on a moor, where the main character discovered a hidden treasure buried beneath the heather and rocks.
