Crompton Moor is a moorland and area of biological importance located in the South Pennines in the North West of England.

The moor is dominated by purple moor grass and heather, but also features a significant amount of pine forest. There's a diverse range of wildlife on the moor including red grouse, golden plover, and the meadow pipit. It's the perfect location for a stroll and to breathe some fresh air whilst enjoying phenomenal unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside.
