You can do this cache any time but if you want to visit the Hall, please read the noticeboards or look at the National Trust website carefully for public opening times between March and October as the Hall is used for Education visits, lectures and weddings on weekdays.

Please respect and enjoy this estate. The pathways are all Permissive Paths, apart from the section of the ‘Park to Park Walk’ to the south of the Hall alongside the A174 which is a Public Right of Way. All Ormesby Hall caches are close to the ‘Park to Park Walk’.
Please respect the privacy of the farm and do not climb over any gates or railings, there is always a better way round. Keep dogs on a lead at all times to safeguard farm animals and walkers. Thank you.
Ormesby Hall, home of acts of kindness, was lived in by the influential and community spirited Pennyman family, for nearly 400 years. Ormesby Hall consists of two houses, the Old Wing built in the early 1600s and the Georgian mansion built in the 1740s. The Hall is surrounded by a lovely landscaped estate, some of which is farmland. Also on the estate is the 18thC Stables, now the home of the Cleveland Police Mounted Section, and Grange Farm which was the home farm for the Hall and is now a private tenanted farm.
Since the last owner owner of Ormesby Hall, Lt.Col. James Pennyman died in 1961, Ormesby Hall has been in the hands of the National Trust, a major charity who look after historic buildings and areas of countryside ‘For Ever, For Everyone’. The Trust is not only responsible for the conservation of heritage and environment but also for making visitors welcome. We hope you enjoy your time here.
#Ormesby Hall PARKEND
James Stovin Pennyman who lived with his parents in Ormesby Hall from 1808 onwards needed a home for himself and his young family following his marriage in 1855. In the 1860s he had a house built for his family at the top of Ormesby Road and it was called Park End House. During the building of the house and afterwards he used to cross the landscaped parkland from the Hall to Park End House and back again. Standing by this cache and looking to the south you will see an impressive view of the Hall in the distance. Nowadays you can reach the Hall by following the footpath round the edge of the estate through the woodlands.
