Have you ever wanted to know more about our park? Maybe you’re interested in the Hatfeild family, the last owners of the estate before it was left to the National Trust. Or perhaps you’d rather hear about the film star parties that were a regular fixture in the 1940’s. Maybe you remember Morden Hall as a Beefeater restaurant and want to know about its history beforehand. Whatever your interest, you'll find our helpful tour guides more than happy to oblige.
Our guided tours are an easy walk, and take about 45 minutes. You'll go all around the park, taking a look at the Wandle river, once the most industrialised river in the UK for its size, and learn about the snuff milling that happened there.
