The guide was very informative and interesting. The views from the castle are brilliant even on a cloudy day. Climbing to the top is fairly easy even though there are lots of steps. They are steep though which makes it quite manageable. All in all it’s a lovely way to spend a few hours. Great views and history.
Great place for the whole family to visit. For those not so fit, the grounds are lovely to stroll round, letting you walk through history, with plenty of information available and places to sit down to take in the views. If you have good shoes on, the inside of the castle is very worth the climb! Each set of steps takes you to a new room, level and adventure. You can imagine yourself hauling water up as a servant or wafting round the halls like a lord or lady. Once at the top, the views are stunning, make sure you have your camera!
Today me and Star had a great time at Richmond Castle exploring all the brickwork and completing the folklore trail too. We had such great first time visit in celebrating Stars pre-3rd birthday, we used our English Heritage membership to get in for free. We also had a look round the Richmond town too. Star loved the open field area and the garden they had too in the castle.
As a family we love visiting historical sites, this is a great one, some breathtaking views of the scenery around some of which you don't have to go to the highest heights to see. We even took our dogs in who seemed to enjoy visit as much as we did. But they are lovely doggos.nWe have English Heritage membership, which meant it's free to enter. Can't recommend that enough if your in to going historical sites, the three sites we visited in our week away meant the yearly family membership was back into the positive for us. Plenty of the year left to keep going elsewhere.
Nice castle with good views and picnic areas. Parking is limited in the nearby town. Castle is in the centre of Ripon so we had a walk around the town as well on our visit.
