Moor Park and Ivy Cottage, Farnham, Surrey, England are listed, conjoined homes in of riverside grounds, in the former chapelry of Compton. 〔Ivy Cottage - Grade II - 〕〔Moor Park - Grade II * - 〕 The grounds formerly extended to Mother Ludlam's Cave which faces across the Wey (north branch) the ruins of Waverley Abbey, a cave entrenched in local folklore. Following an early 20th century settlement to a dispute, public access is to a path running the length of the grounds. The building dates from 1630 but has been substantially altered, later that century, in 1750 and 1800. Former names for it are Morehouse and Compton Hall, it has housed philosophical author Jonathan Swift and been a spa hydrotherapy retreat briefly when it was visited by scientist Charles Darwin. ==Approaches to Moor Park== The North Downs Way runs along the pavement north of the site and runs east through woods of Runfold. Access is possible by road, but walking provides many further areas to view. A major spur of the long-distance footpath, the Greensand Way commences in the grounds, passes the front of the house, leading to Moor Park Nature Reserve, Mother Ludlam's Cave and has a bridge to Waverley Abbey all at the far end of the grounds. Moor Park Lane, a northern bridleway and former carriage drive, links the house to the A31 road at the Shepherd and Flock pub, Farnham with parking. To one side of this in water meadows with several channels is High Mill, which is Grade II listed and the partially hidden (and dry) remains of an artificial waterfall which featured on picture postcards in Victorian times.〔High Mill, Compton/Farnham - Grade II - 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moor Park, Farnham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
