Kirkleatham

Kirkleatham is a small village and former estate on the southern fringe of Redcar, within the borough of Redcar and Cleveland in England. It sits a short distance inland from the North Sea and the mouth of the River Tees, so the setting mixes gently rolling farmland, parkland and coastal views that link the settlement to the wider Teesside landscape.

The village is noted for its old hall and estate grounds, now used as a local museum and country park that reflect Georgian and Victorian heritage and a notable philanthropic legacy; there’s a walled garden, community activities and an active interest in local history. Quiet and largely residential today, Kirkleatham nevertheless feels the economic and social pull of nearby Redcar and the industrial towns of Teesside, so many people balance village life with work and leisure in the coastal and urban centres close by.
