    The drawers and cupboards were full with a mixture of cutlery and crockery, not just the bare minimum ‘four of everything’ usually found. With nicknacks everywhere, walls covered in artwork, and bookshelves full of books (even recipe books) and brochures, it definitely feels like home from home. Parking was always found around The Green. Some might find the uphill climb a challenge, but the Market Square, with everything it has to offer, is just a short walk away. At least it’s downhill on your way home! The owners left a lovely welcome package, and are on hand by text or phone call if assistance is needed. Nothing was too much trouble. And did I say it was spotlessly clean!! Highly recommend this cosy cottage for a couple or small group.

About the location

RICHMOND

Barnard Castle 10 miles; Leyburn 12 miles.

Situated at the entrance to Swaledale, the ancient market town of Richmond stands on a prominent hilltop site to the north of the River Swale. Its cobbled streets and narrow alleys or 'wynds' enshrine over nine centuries of busy history and unique character. The town grew up around its castle, a Norman fortress dating back to 1071, famously situated high above the river - indeed the name Richmond is derived from 'Riche-mont' meaning 'strong hill'. Today there are wonderful walks to be enjoyed such as the Castle Walk - a dramatic terrace walk beneath the castle walls - or alternatively walk alongside the River Swale where there are parks, safe paddling areas and small waterfalls to enjoy. Within the town, narrow streets and alleys radiate from the cobbled Market Place (which has a weekly market and monthly farmers’ market) and there are numerous shops, pubs and restaurants to enjoy. The town flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries and the resulting elegant Georgian architecture lines many of the old streets. The Georgian Theatre is one of the oldest surviving theatres in the country with visitors enjoying its regular productions all year round.
