The ancient market town of Richmond is situated at the entrance to Swaledale, a prominent hilltop site to the north of the River Swale. With a maze of cobbled streets and narrow alleys – or ‘wynds’ – this town has over nine centuries of history. Growing up around the castle – a Norman fortress dating back to 1071 – Richmond literally means ‘strong hill’ and is derived from the Old English ‘Riche-mont’. The River Swale runs through the town itself and provides not only lovely walks, but also safe paddling areas and the occasional small waterfall. Radiating from the market place, where a weekly market and monthly farmer’s market are still observed, the lovely cobbled streets are lined with numerous shops, pubs and restaurants.
