About

North Richmondshire encompasses the northern section of the Richmondshire district, characterised by its expansive upland landscapes and significant historical legacy. The area includes much of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, featuring prominent valleys like Swaledale and Arkengarthdale. These dales are defined by their exposed moorland, limestone outcrops, and traditional stone-built field barns scattered across the pastures.

The market town of Richmond, with its Norman castle overlooking the River Swale, serves as a central hub. The area's economy has long been connected to agriculture, alongside historical lead mining. The remote Tan Hill Inn, England's highest public house, sits isolated on the moorland, a testament to the region's rugged character and former mining activity.
