Errington Wood
Errington Wood is on the northern face of the hillside above the village of New Marske. It is named after the Errington family, the original landowners, who in 1773 planted the area with trees as a cash crop.
Within the wood there are over 9 miles of well-maintained paths, the lower one of which is flat with a solid surface.
The wood’s industrial heritage is not readily visible from the paths, however those keen on doing so can discover many historical artefacts from the ironstone mining period, 1851 to 1923, the stone quarrying believed to be from the 16th and 17th centuries and as far back as the Bronze Age.
Kirkleatham Walled Garden
The Grade II-listed Kirkleatham Walled Garden has been restored after being closed for more than 30 years.
Visitors can now find formal gardens, a science garden, areas for activities and a glasshouse, along with a café, a shop and a 350-seat pavilion, which is available for events such as weddings, dinners and corporate events.
The café serves produce grown locally, home-baked favourites, hot meals and hot and cold beverages.
