A very serene and beautiful garden against the backdrop of Helmsley castle! We parked the car at Cleveland Way car park (£6 for 6 hours), so had plenty of time to explore! The clouds came over which meant we popped into the cafe for coffee and scones for a bit! The glasshouse was converted into an interesting cafe with plenty of fixtures to create interests all around! When the sun finally broke through, it was so pleasant to walk round! There’s still some remaining spring flowers dotted about which added splashes of colour amongst the greenery. It’s completely dog friendly in all areas which was so nice! She got a treat when we purchased the ticket which she loved, thank you!!

Lovely gardens to spend an hour or two. £10 entry is a bit steep as you could get round quickly. There is a large, busy cafe with lovely outdoor tables but I didn't have time to go in.

Beautiful gardens with a great variety of flowers on show.
It was a little expensive to get in for the size of the actual gardens (hence the 4/5).
The food and service in the cafe were excellent

A delightful stroll for anyone even with limited mobility. A bit expensive (not the same price as on this post, a bit less at £10 each) but the entrance fee helps to keep the gardens.

A wonderful walled garden. From the outside it does not look big but the walled garden is huge.
Greenhouses, kitchen gardens, orchard and a beautiful central border section, this is done by volunteers.
£10 entry and £11 with gift aid. Other ticket options available but see the website.
On site cafe available to.
You can also buy fruit and veg grown for a donation. Plenty in August / Sept / Oct. See the ticket office on arrival.
Allow several hours and take a picnic.
No onsite parking but a 5 minute walk there is a pay and display which is also for the castle.

Gorgeous community garden just off the centre of Helmsley. Wide variety of planting and areas of pocket gardening from formal to nice wild areas. Community growing plots in places as well areas of orchard. The colour was lovely when we were there in mid July especially in the herbaceous borders. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and there is a small garden shop as well as a cafe. Overall, well worth a visit if you’re in the area.
