Helmsley Walled Garden

Cleveland Way
Helmsley
North Yorkshire
YO62 5AH


Visit the five acre Helmsley Walled Garden, set against the backdrop of Helmsley Castle and Duncombe Park, which has undergone extensive restoration as a fully working kitchen garden. The garden, originally built in 1756, incorporates glass houses designed in 1850 as a vine house; and there is a continuing programme of restoring the garden, using appropriate plants where possible. Come and watch this garden come back to life!

The walls have now been refurnished with fruit trees, including special collections of 52 Yorkshire apples and 34 Victorian vines and over 250 clematis varieties. Restoration work has been completed on the garden's centre piece, the Orchid House.
