The river winds its way through most of North Yorkshire, with forces and falls along its route. Since it is located in an old train station, you can also go for a lovely walk along the Swale River just behind it. Pro Tip: Have a look at what’s playing in the cinema when you are in Richmond. Afterward, pop into the Friary Gardens with their 15th-century bell tower, and the somewhat eclectic Richmondshire Museum, which holds exhibits ranging from the Stone Age to partial sets of the famous TV series All Creatures Great and Small. But even when the market is not on, Richmond offers lovely shopping with plenty of small individual boutiques and so many cafes that you will have to stop off a few times. Every Wednesday and Saturday, the lovely market square fills with stalls and comes alive. Here, you’ll see little cobbled streets, cutesy cottages nestled next to lovely Georgian architecture, and the largest cobblestone-paved marketplace in England. Richmond is a picture-perfect market town in the Yorkshire Dales, complete with a Norman Castle dating to 1071.

There are some really gorgeous and very charming market towns across the four counties of Yorkshire, which is comprised of York, West Yorkshire, East Riding, and North Yorkshire.
I’ve walked an accumulated hundreds of miles across the Yorkshire Dales, visited lovey cities, and countless hamlets, villages, and small market towns - all of which are worth seeing and all of which tend to have a great little pub. My in-laws still live there and we go and visit several times a year, never mind where in the world we happen to live.Įven though I first thought it rather bleak, cold, and too rugged to call it pretty, over the decades, I have taken Yorkshire into my heart and gotten to know some great historic sights and truly spectacular natural backdrops - such as Aysgarth Falls. Then I met this guy at university, and long story short and 30-odd years later, I have now been to Yorkshire more often than any other part of the world. When I first moved to England, I don’t think I had ever even heard of Yorkshire.
