The park was also the site of an annual music festival, Richmond Live, until 2019.

Richmond Town Centre

Highlight • Settlement

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.

View of Richmond

Highlight • Viewpoint

There is a sign on the bench with a quote from Alfred Wainwright, in which he speaks highly of the city of Richmond.
As a Coast to Coast walker you will also see that it is only 76.5 miles (123km) more to Robin Hood's Bay... so you already have 113.5 miles (more than 182km) in your legs.

Hudswell Woods

Highlight • Viewpoint

Hudswell Woods is a wonderful area to walk through. Near Richmond, it's pretty much accessible to just about anyone who can walk. Very green, beautiful flowery meadows in the spring and summer. There is also a small rounded hill, Round Howe, at the eastern end of the woods. Enjoy your stroll!
