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.
