Friends of Eastcote House Gardens
Eastcote is most fortunate in having extensive parks and green spaces, woodland areas, a large number of historic buildings, Conservation Areas and a number of Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC).

Under the heading of Conservation in Eastcote are a whole range of activities connected with the protection and enhancement of our local environment. Local members who are involved in Conservation are drawn from all areas of the Community with diverse interests in local history, plants and trees, preservation of buildings. Through members of the Residents Association, members of the Conservation Panel and Friends groups we help to look after and monitor activity in the following:-
- Four Parks :-
Eastcote House Gardens: Walled Garden – Winter 2010 Stables Warrender Park: Haydon Hall Park: Warrender Park – Green Flag Award Haydon Hall Park- Haydon Hall Lodge: Bessingby/Cavendish Parks: which includes a Site of Nature Conservation Tree Planting Cavendish Pavillion: - Four other Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation, ( SINC)

The Conservation Panel or to give it its full title the Eastcote Village Conservation Area Advisory Panel through representatives is allowed to speak at North Planning Committee meetings, when applications are submitted which might affect Conservation Areas; both built environment and green spaces.
For three of the Parks local residents have formed up groups to help to look after the parks. These are:-
- The Friends of Eastcote House Gardens Management Advisory Group, with members from the Conservation panel. The aim of the “Friends” is to secure the future of the Stables, Dovecote and Garden Wall, which are all on the English Heritage “Buildings at Risk Register”. In addition “The Friends” gardeners have worked tirelessly to improve the gardens.
- Cavendish & Bessingby Management Advisory Group who’s aim is to improve these parks and arrange activities in the parks
- Representatives of the Panel attend the meetings of Friends of Warrender Park and Highgrove Management Advisory Group, Bessingby/ Cavendish Management Advisory Group and the Yeading Valley Working Group.
