Spent an hour visiting Richmond Castle on a chilly but sunny day. Worth climbing to the top of the Keep, seeing the views above the River Swale plus the museum upstairs from the shop.

Helpful staff, great gift shop and amazing keep remains with very good information notes everywhere. Can climb to the very top of the keep with magnificent views of surrounding countryside and the town below.

The most interesting thing about the castle was that it had housed conscientous objectors during the first world war,and there was a lot of graffity which they had written on their cell walls also the views over the swale are wonderful

You can climb all the way to the top of the keep. Informative exhibition.

The staff are very pleasant. There is a very good display area and mock up of a cell, which was very interesting. We also like the gardens. The easter trail went down well with the children.

If you are in Richmond this is a great property to visit. Enough about the castle is still intact to make it worthwhile. English Heritage if you are a member.

Friendly staff at the gate welcomed us to an excellently preserved castle, including a mighty keep and extensive domestic buildings, all with helpful notes as you went along.
