Boston Manor Park (sound walk)

Through the Voice of Trees - Boston Manor Park sound walk, you’ll discover some wonderful sounds of this beautiful park in the heart of West London. Comprising an area of 11.36 hectares surrounding the Manor House, the park is accessed from Boston Manor Road on the eastern perimeter. The Grand Union Canal and River Brent run along the western perimeter, the canal taking in what is now known as Clitheroes or Clitheroe's Lock 99.

By following the route on the Echoes app, visitors will hear a selection of original poems dedicated to trees and some interesting sounds and stories of the park.

With your headphone and phone, you can explore the amazing soundscape of Boston Manor Park while enjoying its natural beauty.

Giovanna Iorio - Sound Artist (UK)

I am a sound artist and I live in UK. I am the founder of the Poetry Sound Library, an archive that preserve the voices of poets from past and present. I research ways to link poetry to the landscape. My sound walks are in UK and around the world. Among my projects there is "Voice of Trees, a sound walk to discover the voices of the most important poets from the Poetry Sound Library: monumental trees or parks receive a poet's voice and they become part of an inspiring sound installation.
