Valley Gardens, Saltburn, Skelton and Brotton / Saltburn, Marske and New Marske - Redcar and Cleveland (UA)

Public pleasure grounds developed from 1861 to designs principally by Joseph Newton. Paths and steps have subsided and tree and shrub growth has been allowed to develop unchecked, mainly due to the steeply sloping nature of the site. The Albert Memorial and other structures around the site are now repaired. Development of a private residence has divided the ownership of the site. An active 'friends group' continues to improve the conditions of the site and a Conservation Management Plan has been produced. Coastal Communities Revival Fund money has been awarded for further works.
