This landscape park was created in around 1776 and covers about 20 hectares. Although it dates to the period when Capability Brown was working, Hesleyside is not attributed to him. The original plans for the garden included five avenues and a scheme to re-channel the Hesley Burn. Three of these avenues exist today and are planted with chestnut, lime and possibly sycamore. Other elements of the park include a walled garden and woodland. There are also remains of an early formal garden layout which may date to the early 18th century. The terrace, garden walls, gate piers, gates and forecourt walls are all Grade II Listed Buildings protected by law. This is a Grade II registered garden. (1-6)

Landscape park and gardens to Hesleyside Hall covering an area of 85 hectares. The grounds were first laid out by 1715 and gardeners George Brown and Patrick Ramsay were appointed to care for them. The park had been landscaped by 1776. It had been widely believed that Lancelot Brown was responsible for the creation of the garden but there is no supporting evidence. This may be a misconception deriding from the earlier appointment of George Brown. Gardens were planted in 1796-1800 during the rebuilding of the east front of the house. Additions to the gardens date to the mid 19th century. (7a)
