Barn Hill is part of Fryent Country Park. The Country Park has been kept to show how much of Middlesex looked before the suburban expansion of London in the 1920s and 1930s. There are 23 hay meadows and seven miles of hedgerows, four woods and 20 ponds. Much of the woodland on Barn Hill was planted by the landscape architect Humphry Repton in about 1793 for the then landowner, Richard Page, who also owned Wembley Park. The fishpond was another of Repton's features. It is close to the Trig Point on Barn Hill and the Capital Ring also passes it.
