Welcome to a beautiful garden in the heart of North Yorkshire.

Helmsley Walled Garden is a beautiful five acre walled garden in the heart of North Yorkshire, England. Dating from 1758, and set against the spectacular backdrop of Helmsley Castle in the grounds of Duncombe Park, the garden is gradually being restored to its former glory.  Originally built to supply the Duncombe estate with fruit, vegetables and cut flowers, it was abandoned in the 1970’s until, in 1994 extensive restoration was started to bring it back to life as a fully working kitchen garden.

The walls have now been refurnished with fruit trees, including special collections of 52 Yorkshire apples and 34 Victorian vines, and over 250 clematis varieties, and restoration work has been completed on the garden’s centre piece, the Orchid House.  Our own naturally produced vegetables, herbs, seasonal fruits and a wide range of plants, including many rare species, are all for sale.  Under the magical ruins and ramparts of Helmsley Castle, this is a romantic oasis to sit and picnic or just watch the world go by.

The healing garden offers horticultural therapy and a tranquil environment for those in need.  Please come and visit us!
