The designed landscape around Copgrove Hall was developed in two major phases. The first was in the 1760s when the lake and southern parkland was put in to a design by Thomas White to complement the old hall. The second was in the third quarter of the 19th century with the development of the parkland north and east, after the present Copgrove Hall was constructed in the 1820s.

Although Crathorne Hall was built between 1903 and 1906, it sits in a much older designed landscape using the dramatic river Leven valley as its central feature. Designed by the noted architects, Ernest George and Alfred Yeates for Lionel Dugdale, Crathorne Hall was the largest country house of the Edwardian era to be built. George and Yeates also laid out the grounds around the hall but it was another leading garden designer, William Goldring, who provided the design for an intricate rose garden and the layout for the kitchen garden and neighbouring orchard.

A public park laid out by the Borough Engineer in the early 1890s, incorporating features from the grounds of an earlier country house.

A landscape park laid out 1761-5 by Richard Woods to provide the setting for a mid C18 country house.

Pleasure grounds laid out 1723-37 for Sir Charles Hotham, fifth baronet, possibly with the involvement of Richard, third Earl of Burlington and with advice from Burlington's head gardener Thomas Knowlton.

The hall dating from the 1770s sits in a designed landscape that was first developed in the 16th century with extensive deer parks stretching from the river to the high moorland. Following the building of the present hall, the immediate grounds were remodelled over the next 50 years with the lake and kitchen garden complex being the main features. These remain, together with the immediate parkland, providing a suitable setting for the Grade 1 listed hall.

A public cemetery opened in 1860, laid out to a design by William Barratt with buildings by Jeremiah Marriott and Son, and extended in the late-C19.

Pleasure grounds of c 1718. The park was probably created in the early C18 and early to mid C19 partially on the site of a medieval deer park associated with Helmsley Castle.
