Referred to as the jewel in the heart of North Yorkshire, the picturesque town of Richmond is renowned for breathtaking beauty that has inspired painters and poets for centuries.

Boasting a fine example of a Norman castle, Georgian architecture, a traditional cobbled market place, the beautiful River Swale, and with plenty of museums, cafes, and restaurants, there is plenty for you to explore here.

Lovely market town. Highlights are the markets square, the castle and the River Swale waterfalls. While you're here, also check out Easby Abbey, a bit further to the east, via the B6271 or the shared past from The Station.

Richmond has plenty of cafes and shops so it's a good place for a stop on a cycle tour. It's a bit of a climb up to the Market Square though - cobbles too!
