Some More Views of Richmond
Richmond is the only town of any size in Swaledale, one of the most northern valleys of the Yorkshire Dales national park.
Perched on a steep hill above the River Swale and Richmond Falls, the most prominent feature of the town is its famous castle (pictured above). Besides this and other local attractions Richmond makes a good base for touring the northern dales, including the upper reaches of Swaledale to the west, Wensleydale to the south, and Teesdale to the north.
