Kersal Moor, Moorland in Salford, England.

The eight-hectare moorland contains sandhill formations along the Irwell Valley, with a mixture of sand, gravel, and diverse vegetation.

Archaeological discoveries from the late 19th century revealed flint tools and materials indicating continuous human presence since the Neolithic period.

The moor served as a gathering place for the Great Chartist Meeting of 1838, where thousands assembled to demand political reforms.

The recreational area sits between Moor Lane, Heathlands Road, St Paul's Churchyard, and Singleton Brook, offering public access year-round.

In 1818, the Manchester Golf Club established the second golf course outside Scotland on Kersal Moor, marking a milestone in English sports.
