LOCATION LOCATION
Richmond is a characterful Georgian market town in Swaledale, surrounded by its fair share of pretty villages. Founded by the Normans in 1071, the town developed around one of the oldest Norman stone fortresses in Britain, Richmond Castle, which was built on the ‘riche-mont’ or ‘strong hill’ that gave the town its name. Richmond features a broad cobbled marketplace and many interesting Georgian and Victorian buildings. This beautiful town has loads of great walking routes to explore along the river, plenty of great pubs, cafes and tearooms, as well as independent shops selling books, antiques, clothes and everything in between.BAG A PROPERTY
