Marton-in-Cleveland Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Entry slip road from A172 onto east-bound A174(T) The slip road shown in this picture runs along-side the Marton Country Club which lies just to the left of where the above photograph was taken. This entry point to the east-bound A174(T) road allows traffic to travel in the direction of Redcar.
Granite Urn, Stewart Park. This granite urn was erected by Henry Bolckow, the wealthiest and most powerful local ironmaster, to mark the spot where Capt. James Cook was born in the old village of Marton. Henry Bolckow had decided to build his new house on this site and promptly relocated the villagers into new houses built on Marton Road 500m to the south west 55056. The Bolckows moved into their new mansion, Marton Hall, in 1858. In 1878 the estate passed to Bolckow's nephew Carl who managed to continue to lead an extravagant lifestyle despite the boom years of the iron industry being over. By 1907 the hall was empty, all fixtures being sold to pay off his debts. Apart from the billeting of troops during WW1 it was never lived in again. The estate was brought in 1925 by Thomas J Stewart who presented it to Middlesbrough as a park. In 1960 a fire broke out and the hall was reduced to ashes. The steps and stonework in the photo are all that remains.

Good location, nice friendly staff and generally decent hotel. Just abit tired; facilities, decor and upkeep. Not as modern and fresh as other hotels, so didn’t feel premium. £8 per car feels slightly overpriced for parking also for the area.

We enjoyed our stay at Glendevon! Such a great location very close to the sea front, the cottage had everything we needed and was larger than it looked in the photos, especially the kitchen. We'd highly recommend!
