The Belmont Trail Link/Bonnersfield Lane
This trail runs from Manor Road to Francis Road, and after crossing the railway by footbridge, it crosses Kenton Park to reach The Belmont Trail. The Belmont Trail follows the route of the old "Belmont Ratler" railway that ran between Wealdstone and Stanmore. A look at a map will show that from Belmont, using residential roads and a path across Stanmore Hill Golf Course, it is possible to reach the lower gate of Bentley Priory Nature Reserve
