Richmond in North Yorkshire, England is a historic market town and ward perched above the River Swale, often described as a gateway to the Yorkshire Dales. Its compact centre is dominated by the 11th‑century Richmond Castle and a cobbled Market Place, with a pleasant mix of Georgian architecture, independent shops and cafés that attract both visitors and locals.
The local economy leans on tourism and surrounding agriculture, supported by services and a lively cultural scene - museums (including the Green Howards Regimental Museum), markets and annual events - and it acts as an administrative focus for the wider Richmondshire area, represented on district and county councils.
