Richmond cottages

There is no shortage of things to see and do, and a visit to the castle is a must, with its interactive exhibitions, pretty gardens and extensive ruins to explore. Hardy souls may wish to join one of the regular ghost walks around the cobbled streets after dark!
At the heart of the town is a Georgian cobbled marketplace and in the pretty surrounding streets, you will find every modern convenience you could wish for. There are excellent shops, high-end restaurants and traditional tearooms catering for every taste, watched over by the spire of the Church of the Holy Trinity that rises from the centre

The Green Howard's Museum, located in the former Trinity church, is dedicated to the history of the infantry regiment of the British army. The display charts the history of the Green Howards from 1688-2006, after which they merged with the Yorkshire regiment. Uniforms, medals, weaponry, artwork and personal mementoes, in the form of letters and photos, make up this unique collection of war memorabilia.

The Georgian Theatre Experience, is truly unique, with hourly theatre tours of this Georgian playhouse, the most complete in Britain today. Built-in 1788 as one of the circuit theatres in the area, it was later used as an auction house from 1830 to 1848. It re-opened its doors in 1963 after having undergone extensive refurbishment, including the addition of a museum. The theatre maintains a full programme of performances throughout the year and was named as the number-one place in the country to see a pantomime! Oh yes it was!
