Easily one of the biggest draws to the town (one of - of course the town has such a lot more to offer besides.) By the falls there is a carpark with toilet facilities, a little cafe/food hut (perfect for an ice-cream on a sunny day) and children's play area. This spot gets pretty busy in the summer but it's well worth it.<br />If you prefer a quieter spot, I recommend checking out an area called 'Round Howe'. It's just a little way further up the river from the town centre. It can be reached by walking along the river, heading away from town, crossing the bridge at the end of the lane which traces along the foot of the castle and continuing along the river path. There's also a reasonably priced car park which has toilet facilities, if you'd prefer to drive. From the car park you cross a rather impressive high bridge (from which we always have a game of poh sticks) then can choose from a variety of woodland paths or can take a stroll along the river side. This path opens out to large fields and there are some lovely spots for a picnic on the water's edge. Our favourite spot is a large gravel 'beach' at the bend in the river. This is where the path brings you out if you were walking from the town centre.<br />Richmond's Green Howard's museum in the centre of the market place is also well worth a visit and no trip to Richmond is complete without fish n chips from Richmond Fisheries. <br />You might also be interested to know that Richmond hosts a carnival parade, fairground and a whole host of activities over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend; this is known as The Meet and is an absolute must!<br />Hope that's helpful. Enjoy!
