Welcome to Kings Moss

Kings Moss is a small village located in the Metropolitan Borough of St Helens, Merseyside, England. The village is situated on the eastern edge of the borough, close to the border with Greater Manchester. Kings Moss is a rural area with a population of around 1,000 people. The village is surrounded by farmland and open countryside, making it an ideal location for those who enjoy outdoor activities such as walking, cycling, and horse riding.

The history of Kings Moss dates back to the 13th century when it was known as "Kingsmoss". The village was originally a small hamlet, but it grew in size during the 19th century when coal mining became the main industry in the area. The village had its own colliery, which operated from the mid-1800s until the early 1900s. Today, the village is a quiet and peaceful place, with a few shops, a pub, and a primary school.

Kings Moss is located close to several major towns and cities, including St Helens, Wigan, and Manchester. The village is well-connected by road, with the M6 motorway just a few miles away. There are also regular bus services to nearby towns and cities. Despite its rural location, Kings Moss is within easy reach of a range of amenities and attractions, making it an ideal place to live for those who want to enjoy the best of both worlds.
