About

Castle ward encompasses a large rural area in North Yorkshire, centred on the market town of Richmond. The landscape is characterised by the River Swale and expanses of agricultural land, with scattered villages and hamlets. The namesake Richmond Castle, a Norman fortress, stands prominently on a cliff above the river, defining the area's historic core and offering views across the surrounding dales.

The ward's economy is largely based on farming and tourism, with Richmond serving as a hub. The town's cobbled marketplace and Georgian theatre, one of the oldest in continuous use in Britain, are central features. Much of the ward lies within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, providing extensive moorland and walking routes that shape the local way of life.
