About

Richmond ward covers a large rural area in the northern part of North Yorkshire. It includes the historic market town of Richmond itself, situated on a prominent hill above the River Swale. The landscape is characterised by rolling farmland, the valleys of the Swale and its tributaries, and sections of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The economy is largely based on agriculture, tourism, and local services centred on the town.

The town's Norman castle, founded in 1071, remains a dominant landmark overlooking the river gorge. A unique network of narrow, hidden alleys known as 'wynds' connects the market place to the riverbank below. The area includes surrounding villages and hamlets, such as Marske and Hudswell, which contribute to its primarily agricultural character. The ward functions as a key service hub for the surrounding, sparsely populated dales.
