Gifts for your distant Dales-loving friend

Emails from Egypt, postcards from Peru, tourists from Taunton - we get them all, and there's often a common theme: they know the Yorkshire Dales from way back and have fond memories that they want to refresh. That pub in Mallerstangdale; the riverside walk from Yockenthwaite; that landlady in Crackpot...

If you've got far-off friends or relatives who've caught the Dales bug, we can help. We can't scratch every itch, but we have some lovely guidebooks, calendars and local histories in stock in our pod in Richmond's Market Hall. We also have an online shop with our most popular local publications: Richmond Walks; Pootling round Richmond and Swaledale; the Little but Wondrous Guide to Richmond; the Short History of Richmond Racecourse and its Grandstand (now at a daft bulk-buy price of just £5) and Joe Willis's informative but hilarious Swaledale. Details and online ordering are at richmondinfo.net/shop. 

Happy Christmas!

PS: we also have an enormous range of charity Christmas cards. Come in and fill a bag!
