During the 17th century, the parkland was associated with the Clitherow family for over 250 years.
The grounds contain ancient cedar trees, some of which are centuries old.
The River Brent, which bisects the park, was widened and landscaped during the 18th-century park improvements.
The park features a designated 'eco-trail' specifically designed to educate visitors on local biodiversity.
Boston Manor Park is a 34-acre historic park situated along the banks of the River Brent in Brentford. The grounds feature a mix of mature woodland, formal gardens, and open meadows. It is anchored by the Grade I listed Boston Manor House, a Jacobean mansion built in 1622. A restored nature trail meanders through the parkland, providing habitats for diverse wildlife and native flora. Visitors can access a dedicated cafe facility within the park boundaries. The site is a key component of the Green Corridor, connecting urban spaces to the river environment.
