Description
Morden Hall Park is a green oasis in the city, giving you a taste of a country estate with a glimpse of its agricultural and industrial history. This tranquil former deer park is one of the few remaining estates that used to line the River Wandle during its industrial heyday. The river meanders through the park creating a haven for wildlife.
The snuff mills, which generated the park's income in the past, survive to this day. We've renovated the western mill, and it's now used as a Children and Young People hub. The renovated Stable Yard is the heart of the park with a second-hand bookshop, café and facilities while surviving estate buildings are used as workshops by local artists. The park is also home of the National Trust's only garden centre.
If you are looking for Best place for day out with kids and families then this is the perfect destination offering fun, adventure, and unforgettable memories for everyone.
The history of Morden Hall Park: Rich in history and wildlife, Morden Hall Park has seen vast change over its almost 1,000-year history. From marshy fields to a country estate, complete with deer park and wetland, the park has also hosted a military hospital and been a place of work and industry on the River Wandle. While this history remains visible throughout the park, today it’s an oasis for the local community in the bustling suburbs of south-west London.
