Accessibility

Richmond is a town of hills and cobbles. It is part of its charm but should be considered when planning your trip. There are dedicated disabled parking bays in the Market Place as well as down at The Station and other town car parks. Most of the attractions and main areas of the town are also fully accessible, but please check before your visit if you have any concerns.

Walks around Richmond

Walks and trails

We are proud of our historic old town, and love to show it to visitors, taking parties of up to 10 people through the cobbled streets, narrow alleys and grand vistas of Richmond.

​The walks are circular, leaving from the Market Hall. They last about 75 minutes, and are led by a knowledgeable volunteer guide. They depart at 11:00 every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Further afield...

Once you're in Richmond, why go anywhere else? But if you are tempted away from the town, there are three National Parks within easy reach.

A couple of minutes' drive along Reeth Road and you're in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. To the east is the North York Moors National Park, whilst a little further away The Lake District National Park lies to the west.
