Richmond stands on a hilltop north of the River Swale at the entrance to Swaledale. Its cobblestone streets and wynds preserve nine centuries of history and character. The town built up around its castle, a Norman bastion dating back to 1071. The name Richmond comes from 'Riche-mont', which means'strong hill.' The Castle Walk is a stunning terrace stroll beneath the castle walls, or you can walk along the River Swale, where there are parks, safe paddling spots, and small waterfalls. Narrow streets and alleyways radiate from the cobbled Market Place, where there are stores, taverns, and restaurants.

Parking is a little awkward but we got the hang of it. (Recommend buying a week ticket if you plan staying in and around Richmond during the days. Lots of car parks and all within a few mins walk which are longer stay. Week ticket be bought from parking ticket machines for cash or from the council office not far from the cottage). There are some fab cafes in Richmond and we enjoyed going to the Station for a look around. Very nice cottage which has been carefully and tastefully renovated. Itâs very nicely done. Kitchen and bathroom are lovely and everywhere is really clean. Beds are comfy (a little squeaky!) Sofas arenât great for lounging on in the evening especially for my husband who is 6â4â! They are a little small and firm but ok. The little welcome pack was a lovely touch. The heating was super efficient, the shower was great too. Lovely place and we enjoyed staying here very much. Thank you!
