Richmond really does have lots to see and do for visitors. Sitting at the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this charming house also makes the perfect base for walkers and cyclists to explore the countryside of Swaledale and the Yorkshire Dales. There are plenty of riverside and woodland walks nearby which continue into the wonderful countryside beyond. One of the most popular walks is Wainwright’s Coast to Coast, which passes through Richmond, and will take you through some breathtaking countryside with majestic views.
The property is in the perfect location to enjoy the wider area and visit one of the many pretty Yorkshire towns and villages, such as Thirsk, Ripon, Yarm, Pickering, Hawes or Reeth, all of which are close by.

There is the opportunity for fishing at Brompton Lakes, which is just over 2 miles away, or you can watch the horse racing at Catterick and York racecourses. The cathedral city of Durham is just over half an hour away to the north of Richmond, and is certainly worth a day trip to explore, as is the medieval walled city of York with its wealth of visitor attractions. Richmond is perfectly situated for those wishing to explore both the outstanding natural beauty of the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors National Park. Beach 33 miles.
