Richmond, the ancient market town at the entrance to Swaledale, stands on a conspicuous hilltop site to the north of the River Swale. Its cobblestone streets and small alleyways, or wynds, are home to over nine centuries of bustling history and distinct personality. The town grew up around its castle, a Norman bastion built in 1071 and famously perched high above the river - the name Richmond comes from the French word 'riche-mont,' which means ‘strong hill.' Today, there are magnificent walks to be had, such as the Castle Walk, which is a dramatic terrace stroll beneath the castle walls, or a walk along the River Swale, which includes parks, safe paddling spots, and little waterfalls.

We enjoyed staying here for a wonderful week-long break recently. It is very comfortable and well-equipped, and we would love to stay again on our next visit to this lovely region.

The close proximity to the town was excellent and made it easy for relaxing shopping, dining and visiting the pubs etc. The dedicated parking space was a real bonus and we felt that our car was safe. We travelled out in the daytime and relaxed in Richmond in the evening within easy walking distance. One thing we thought would be in the property was an iron but only a minor observation. We have already booked to return in January anyway. A very convenient place to stay in a nice town.
