A day out in North Yorkshire - Richmond

On a dreary bank holiday weekend, myself and the boyfriend decided we'd get out of the house and travel to Richmond. Neither of us had been there before so we thought it would be a good place to adventure around.

As we were peckish we, of course, went for a cup of tea and a scone, and maybe some cake. We explored the shops, including MacKenzie Thorpe's art gallery, did quite a bit of walking and visited the castle. The grounds of Richmond Castle were lush and green with many kids running around. You could walk up to the top of the tower which gave a brilliant view of Richmond and the surrounding towns. We had a lovely little day out and would recommend visiting if you live nearby.
