2 Bedroom Cottage in Richmond
A modern detached bungalow situated on the fringe of the market town of Richmond, named Great Town of the Year 2009 by the Academy of Urbanism. The cottage offers very comfortable, well-equipped accommodation in a superb location for discovering this beautiful region and visitors will receive a very warm welcome from the owners who live next dorr. Richmond offers a Norman castle, Georgian Theatre, museums and beautiful riverside walks.
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 â€" or 'wynds' â€" this town has over nine centuries of history. Growing up around the castle - a Norman fortress dating back to 1071 â€" 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.
