About

Richmond Town is a historic market town in North Yorkshire, known for its well-preserved Georgian architecture and cobbled streets. The town sits on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, offering easy access to scenic countryside walks and outdoor activities. Richmond Castle, a Norman fortress overlooking the River Swale, is a key landmark, along with the Georgian Theatre Royal, one of the oldest working theatres in England.
