Richmond: Castle Richmond: Castle English Heritage

Description


It's only fitting that the place that has had it's name replicated more often around the English speaking world than any other should also have an impressive castle and important history. The lands were given to William the Conqueror's nephew shortly after the Battle of Hastings and he built his castle here on "The Strong Hill" (Riche Mount). Today the castle is mostly ruins, though the impressive keep is in pretty good repair (having been used during both the World Wars.) There is a small exhibition on the history of the castle and the town.
