About MOOR PARK

Moor Park is a Neo-Palladian mansion set within several hundred acres of parkland to the south-east of Rickmansworth in Hertfordshire, England. It is called Moor Park Mansion because it is in the old park of the Manor of the More, a 16th-century palace. It now serves as the clubhouse of Moor Park Golf Club.
