A landscape park with formal and informal gardens and pleasure grounds, surrounding a C15 and later manor house.

A public park laid out in the late 1870s and opened in 1881.

Shaped by Skelton Castle, the designed landscape has included medieval deer parks and gardens, terraced gardens from the late 17th or early 18th century and a late 18th century landscape park. Thomas White produced an improvement plan in 1775 but only the kitchen garden was implemented. The later redesign may have been by Adam Mickle junior.

The designed landscape of Skutterskelfe Park takes full advantage of its natural surroundings, both within the estate boundaries and the borrowed landscape of the Cleveland Hills beyond. The former was created in the second half of the 18th century to surround a contemporary mansion, incorporating the key natural features of the River Leven and streams, Stell and Carr Stell and the highpoint, Folly Hill.

Pleasure grounds and a park with mid C18 origins laid out within an improved landscape by Sir Christopher Sykes 1771-1800 with advice from Thomas White and Lancelot Brown, with model farms designed by Sykes acting as eyecatchers.

Public gardens, comprising a series of seaside walks and gardens, laid out as publicly and privately owned features from the mid C19 to the 1930s, including work by Joseph Paxton in the 1850s.

A two-phase C19 designed landscape associated with an early C19 mansion and its C17 predecessor.

Compartmented gardens laid out by the Honourable Robert James in the period c 1905-25.

Stapleton Park once had a mansion designed by John Carr, extensive kitchen gardens, pleasure grounds, lake and a landscape park of 182 hectares (450 acres). The creation of the designed landscape here may be the work of Lancelot Brown, Richard Woods and possibly Thomas White.
