Venture outside of your Yorkshire Dales accommodation and take a trip to the beautiful market town of Richmond in North Yorkshire. Discover its fine historic buildings, riverside walks and many shops centred around a large cobbled marketplace. A wide choice of pubs and cafes nestle between independent boutique shops for a pleasant morning browsing before returning back to your cottage with a hot tub to relax.
We recommend walking along the River Swale to the impressive ruins of Easby Abbey, and then back over the bridge to The Station. This stunning Victorian railway building has a café, award-winning bakery, brewery, and even a two-screen cinema. Towering above Richmond Falls is the 12th Century Richmond Castle, one of the greatest Normal fortresses in Britain. The climb to the top of the tower is worth it for the breath-taking views across the Yorkshire Dales.
