Brent Heritage Walks and Trails
Queen's Park
From the Royal Agricultural Showground to the Victorian heritage of the surrounding streets, historic architecture and fascinating personalities.
Barham Park
A beautiful little park in the heart of Wembley, Barham Park is packed with local history, picturesque views, outstanding trees and spectacular flower displays.
Welsh Harp
Combining stories, arts, meditation and mindful movement we will take you on a journey to connect to nature and learn about environment at the waterfront oasis in the heart of Brent.

Our previous projects included Brent Heritage Walks and Trails, part of Being Brent – Heritage for Health and Wellbeing, a programme funded by Heritage Lottery Fund and delivered by Brent Museum and Archives. As part of the project, we offered in-person guided tours, fun do-it-yourself downloadable history trails and inspiring how-to workshops will show you how to step into the stories behind Willesden’s busy high road, the quiet recreational spaces of Queen’s Park and the rural idyll of the Welsh Harp. Free resources as legacy of this project can be found here.
Feedback
If you’ve taken part in any of our activities, we will be grateful if you can give us your feedback. This will help evaluate the success of the project and develop future activities, to bring heritage, health and well being to all Brent residents.
