Richmond
Description
Depending on which version you want to believe Richmond either takes it's name from the castle being built on "The Strong Hill" (Riche Mount) or from the Norman settlement of Richemont. Whichever one it is, Richmond is now the most replicated UK place name in the World with over 50 other Richmond's dotted throughout the English speaking world (including Richmond-upon-Thames near London, and more confusingly another Richmond in Sheffield in South Yorkshire). Today the town is set around the pretty Georgian market and is one of the (many) gateways into the Yorkshire Dales
