RICHMOND WALKS
Now in its second edition, this is a beautifully produced and illustrated colour guide to four of the best loved circular walks in and around Richmond. The routes described include an easy Town Trail round the cobbled market place, narrow 'wynds' and airy promenades of the old town; a gentle stroll along an abandoned railway track and past a medieval abbey; a leafy walk through National Trust Woods above the rushing River Swale; and a classic high-level outing to the scene of a gruesome historic accident... A5 format. 20 pages. £2.00, UK p&p £0.80 - or see Pack options above! |

THE LITTLE BUT WONDROUS GUIDE TO RICHMOND
It's history, Jim, but not as we know it... A hilarious collection of fascinating information about our ancient town. Learn, as you stroll, about the mayor who was buried alongside his leg, but ten years later; the knights who used to joust below the castle; and the Marchioness who preferred cocoa to beer. How did the drummer-boy disappear? What terrified Potter Thompson? Who was Tanya, and why were her 'charms' censored..? Packed with lively colour illustrations and wondrous stories, some of them true, this little book is a great way to remember a visit to Richmond. A5 format, 44 pages. £2.50, UK p&p £1.50 - or see Pack options above! |
