Background

History

Barn Hill, called Bardonhill in 1547, was landscaped by Humphry Repton in 1792 as part of a local landowner's country park. The Fryent Park hay meadows are small remnants of two manors, one originally in the ownership of King Edward the Confessor.

Visiting

The park is bisected by the A4140 Fryent Way that links Kingsbury with Wembley, and which leads south-east towards the North Circular Road. A car park is available halfway down this road. The nearest underground is at Kingsbury Station on the Jubilee line, while the Barn Hill Open Area, or at least the summit of it, is nearer to Wembley Park and Preston Road stations. The 206 bus terminates on the south side of the park and other bus routes run to the east (Church Lane), north (Kingsbury Road) and west (Preston Hill). The Capital Ring footpath crosses the site. However, the road Fryent Way, linking Kingsbury Circle and Salmon Street, has no bus service.
