The largest settlement on the route, with a population of 8,000, but catering for a much larger population in the surrounding district. Richmond is an attractive country market town with an interesting and well-preserved Norman castle, set on a crag high above the Swale. The large, sloping and irregularly shaped cobbled market square is typical of the region, and has at its centre the 12th church of the Holy Trinity. The Georgian Theatre Royal was opened originally in 1787. Some of the attractive Georgian streets have been pedestrianised. There is a wide range of shops and the town is particularly well-equipped with eating-places. For those who wish to depart from or arrive on the Coast to Coast route at this point, a bus service links Richmond with Darlington and Northallerton.
After a hard day’s walking, imagine wandering up to an idyllic Georgian country house just minutes from the Coast to Coast path and relaxing in magnificent gardens overlooking the ancient ruins of Easby Abbey. Easby Hall offers style and charm to rival many boutique and country house hotels whilst retaining the warmth and cosiness of a family home. Pull off your boots and soak in our sumptuous bathrooms and toast your tired toes in front of the log burner in your room. With fresh flowers, tea and coffee, a fridge, antique table and chairs for two in every room guests can relax in privacy and ultimate comfort. All rooms have free internet access, TV and hairdryer. There are facilities for drying clothes and boots. Awake refreshed after a peaceful sleep in super kingsize beds, top quality 600 thread count cotton sheets, Hungarian goose down duvets and velvet coverlets. All the beds are ‘zip and link’ so they can be made into singles for friends walking together.
