moor
Windswept heather expanse
To moor a boat is to secure it in place, typically by rope or anchor: We moored at the dock overnight.
A moor is also a tract of open, uncultivated upland, often covered with heather and peat—characteristic of the British Isles: the Yorkshire moors, Wuthering Heights is set on the windswept moors. (Capitalized Moor is a historical term for North African Muslims.)
