About Kirkleatham Walled Garden
Kirkleatham Walled Garden is situated within the wider Kirkleatham Estate, on the south-western outskirts of the coastal town of Redcar. The historic Estate dates back to the mid-17th century and covers over 79 ha. The majority of the Estate, including the Walled Garden, is owned by the Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council.
The Estate includes a cluster of visitor attractions, including the Owl Centre and popular Kirkleatham Museum, which welcomes over 100,000 visitors per year as well as thousands of school children through its award-winning learning programme.
Furthermore, the Estate plays host to world-class events and is home to the national festival of sustainability – the Festival of Thrift – which attracted visitors of 37,000 in 2019.
The general grounds for the Estate, meanwhile, are a popular destination for walks, cycling and running. In addition to the Walled Garden, other regeneration projects are in the pipeline, including the restoration of the nearby Stable Block.
