With its tall, square tower and its position high above the River Swale, Richmond Castle is an impressive sight for visitors to the quaint market town of Richmond.

This ancient Norman structure is said to be the final resting place of the legendary King Arthur who, according to myth, lies beneath the castle in one of its underground caves. Richmond Castle offers an interactive and educational exhibit about the history of the castle and the region, and afterwards, guests can enjoy a walk in the Cockpit Garden, located just outside the castle’s walls.
