Built by the Normans as part of their campaign of "harrying" the north, the magnificent Richmond Castle dominates the hilltop market town of Richmond in North Yorkshire.
Perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the River Swale, the castle has a long history (including a period as a prison for conscientious objectors during the First World War).
