Moor Park is an affluent private residential estate in the Three Rivers District of Hertfordshire, England. It is amongst the most prestigious and sought-after addresses on the outskirts of London and is recognised as one of the five established millionaire neighbourhoods in Hertfordshire.[2] It is located approximately 16 miles (26 km) northwest of central London and adjacent to the Greater London boundary.
Moor Park takes its name from Moor Park, a country house which was originally built in 1678–9 for James, Duke of Monmouth, and was reconstructed in the Palladian style circa 1720 by Giacomo Leoni. It is built on what used to be an area of Ruislip Moor, which is where the name Moor Park originates. The house and grounds are now occupied by Moor Park Golf Club.[3]
Moor Park Golf Club has two championship golf courses designed by Harry Colt.[3]
Moor Park was located in the ancient parish of Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire,[4] on the boundary with the parish of Ruislip, Middlesex.[5] It is now in the civil parish of Batchworth, since 1 April 2017.
