Richmond & Ripon
Richmond, North Yorkshire is a town of unique character and beauty which has changed little through the centuries. With the variety of shopping and its many pubs, hotels and restaurants, the proximity to the most stunning scenery anywhere to be seen, Richmond remains one of the most beautiful and rewarding places to visit in the Country. Founded by the Normans in 1071 the town grew up around the castle built on the 'riche-mont' or 'strong-hill' that gave the town its name and whose massive keep dominates all other buildings around. The first of all Richmonds, the Town was an important regional centre in the medieval period, when royal charters were granted giving rights to hold markets and fairs.
Ripon is a cathedral city with so much to offer its residents & visitors alike. The magnificent 7th-century cathedral is located a short stroll from the market square.
The Ripon obelisk proudly sits at the centre of the market square and has done since 1702 when it was designed by a certain Nicholas Hawksmoor. A city steeped in such history is also home to ancient traditions such as the Ripon Hornblower.
