Moggerhanger Park: a chauffeured day
Moggerhanger Park, Bedfordshire, by chauffeur. Architects associated with Moggerhanger Park include John Soane. The listed grounds and woodlands were landscaped by Humphry Repton, whose Red Book for Moggerhanger dates from 1792. The house is owned by a preservation trust and opened to the public in May 2005 after a major multi-phase restoration. Opening: park grounds open daily 10am to 4pm except Christmas Day and Boxing Day; guided tours of the house run from April to October. For now: the park has paused a planned set of improvements this summer and is focusing on 2027, with dates and details to be announced later in the year.
The house’s opening arrangements are changing. Check its own website for the dates before you travel.
