The historic market town of Richmond is found at the gateway of Swaledale, to the north of the River Swale, on a conspicuous hilltop location. Over nine centuries of active history and distinctive character are preserved in the town's cobblestone streets and little lanes, or "wynds." The town was founded around its castle, a Norman fortress built in 1071 that was renowned for being perched high above the river. In fact, the name Richmond is derived from the French phrase "riche-mont," which means "strong hill." Today, there are several beautiful walks to explore, including the Castle Walk, a dramatic terrace walk beneath the castle walls, or you may stroll along the River Swale, which has parks, secure paddling spots, and little waterfalls. There are many stores, taverns, and restaurants to enjoy throughout the town's maze of narrow streets and lanes that branch out from the Market Place, which is lined with cobblestones and hosts a weekly market and a monthly farmers' market. Because of the town's prosperity in the 18th and 19th centuries, many of the historic streets are lined with exquisite Georgian buildings. One of the nation's oldest still-operating theatres, the Georgian Theatre welcomes guests all year long to see its regular plays.
From heather-clad moors and limestone scars, to market towns and the steady pace of country life - the sublime Dales await you! Where else in Britain is it as satisfying to sit and do nothing as it is to explore the numerous pursuits on offer?
