Moggerhanger Park is a unique country house estate set on the top of the Greensand Ridge, with sweeping views across the Ivel Valley in Bedfordshire. In the middle of nowhere, yet close to everywhere. This elegant Grade I historic house was designed by Sir John Soane in 1792, to be the country home for the Governor of the Bank of England, Godfrey Thornton. The house sits gracefully in natural parkland originally landscaped by Humphry Repton. The house and grounds have now been restored to their original state and we warmly welcome you to create the wedding of your dreams and be part of its future.
