Bentley Priory is located in Stanmore, north of the Uxbridge Road and provides 66 hectares of countryside open space.  The site is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in particular for its meadow areas.  As well as the meadows the site includes extensive woodlands and 2 ponds.  In the summer cattle graze the meadows.  The site is a haven for bird life and a wide range of plant life.  There is no designated car parking but a car park in Warren Lane at Stanmore Common is within five minutes walk.

Adjoining the open space is a private Deer Park with a herd of approximately 24 Fallow Deer and the north is Bentley Priory RAF base from which the Battle of Britain was commanded during World War II.
