On a clear day you can look east to the North York Moors. The distinctive shape of Roseberry Topping can be seen at the northern end of the Moors. Southeast lies the Vale of York. Broad & green (also the A1, less green & pleasant,,,).

View of Richmond Castle from the River Swale Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

From the bridge over the River Swale there is a wonderful view of Richmond Castle.

The castle is a Norman Fortress, built to keep in check 'the rebellious North' in 1086. It is the most well-preserved Norman castle in England following restoration in the 19th century.

The castle is open to the public, for more information visit the website

Richmond Falls on the River Swale

Highlight • Waterfall

This is reputed to be the fastest river in England. The water rises and falls very quickly and we have seen a wall of water come down the river and rise by over 10feet overnight. People have drown in the Swale so this river needs to be treated with great respect.
