Moggerhanger Park is a Grade 1 listed Georgian Historic House set in 33 acres of Grade II listed parkland and woodland, sculpted by Humphry Repton. 

Records of this work exist in his Red Book for Moggerhanger (1792) and supplement (1798). The estate at that time consisted of more than 2000 acres.

The Landscape is being restored through the hard work of our Head Gardener, Tim Kirk, along with his team of volunteers. if you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please get in touch with tim@moggerhangerpark.com.  

Entry to the grounds is free, but we would welcome a donation towards the upkeep of the park, or please consider joining the Friends of Moggerhanger Park. There is ample car parking and dogs are permitted on leads.

 There are two parts to the walled garden at Moggerhanger Park.

The old Kitchen Garden is beside the car park and is known as the Stephen Thornton Garden. It is currently laid to grass.

The main walled garden is known as the Godfrey Thornton Garden. It has been lovingly restored by Head Gardener, Tim Kirk and his team of volunteers. It includes a fantastic collection of Iris that make a great show in June.

Our woodland playground is just past the Orchard Tearooms and offers something for all ages. Just past the playground begins the woodland walk, a 20 minute stroll which has something of interest all year round. January and February is snowdrop time, in April and May you can see the carpet of bluebells and in Autumn there are many species of fungii to see, including some rare ones.

Following the Conservation Management Plan for the Park, we are currently recreating a Rose Garden at the entrance to the Orchard. This area was a Rose Garden at the time the Dawlish family lived in the Park, around 1860.

Located in the Orchard, just past the Walled Garden and next to the Woodland Playground is the Orchard Tearoom, open from 10am-4pm Wednesday to Sunday.

Serving tea, coffee, cakes, ice cream, treats or a light lunch, the Orchard Tearoom is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the grounds.

Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome.  

Look out over the orchard which was re-planted in 2013 with traditional Bedfordshire varieties of apple and pear. The grass is kept long as a summer meadow, which is then cut short in winter to encourage wildflowers. At the side of the orchard, there is also a smaller secluded walled garden containing the old Aviary and a building known as Tudor Cottage.
