There’s lots to explore at Richmond Castle.
Climb the keep for panoramic views over the castle, the ancient town and Swaledale beyond.
Wander the towers, halls and chapels around the vast grassy courtyard and enjoy the views from the tranquil Cockpit Garden.
Stories of the castle and its people are revealed in wide-ranging displays and interactives, and there’s a chance to design your own heraldry.
You can also learn the story of the conscientious objectors imprisoned here for refusing to fight in the First World War. Interactives let you hear their voices and explore the poignant graffiti on their cell walls.
Richmond Castle has been awarded a Bronze Green Impact Award,
