Richmond, one
of the nicest towns in England, in Swaledale, one of the Yorkshire
Dales. Its castle dominates the town and the steep streets
are around the central cobbled market square.
Riverside walks by
the castle along the River Swale towards Whitcliff Scar, which
has its own clifftop walk.
Buildings in the town include Scollards Hall built in 1080,
one of England's oldest domestic buildings.
The town has strong
connections with Catterick Army Camp which is at Hipswell,
south of Richmond.
There is horse racing
in Catterick itself, just south on the A1.
But it is the Dales
most visitors come to see, as you drive into the Dales along
Swaledale, west along the A6108 then the B6270, Arkengarthdale
is a tributary off to the north.
Swaledale is a popular
walking area with the higher slopes open and rugged. Visit
Gummerside, along the B6720, where remains of lead workings
can be seen, with ruined buildings.
