Richmond is the capital of Swaledale, and many of its houses are from Georgian times, which gives the town its character. Richmond Castle, in its imposing setting on a loop of the river Swale, was constructed by one of William I’s most trusted supporters, Alan the Red of Brittany. It’s one of the few Norman castles that never suffered a serious siege and remains today in a better state of preservation that do most other castles from those times.

Richmond is featured on our 55-minute video Picture Postcard Yorkshire, and can be purchased on line. Click here to find out more.
