Fryent Country Park

Parallel to Fryent Way is an ancient track known as Hell Lane or Eldestrete which may date back to Saxon times or earlier.

The woodland comprises English oak, hornbeam, elm, ash and some fruit trees which also occur in the hedges along with blackthorn.

The park is considered the best surviving example of Middlesex countryside in the Brent basin and has a population of the nationally rare plant the narrow-leaved bitter-cress (Cardamine impatiens).

[4] Barn Hill, called Bardonhill in 1547, was landscaped by Humphry Repton in 1792 as part of a local landowner's country park.

[5] The Fryent Park hay meadows are small remnants of two manors, one originally in the ownership of King Edward the Confessor.

[6] The park is bisected by the A4140 Fryent Way that links Kingsbury with Wembley, and which leads south-east towards the North Circular Road.
