Ricmond is a small market town, on the River Swale, in North Yorkshire. The most prominant part of town is the historic castle, but the town centre and the walk around the pretty cottages, and down by the river are well worth doing. The town was founded by the Normans, who built the castle, in around 1071 AD. Many of the fine buildings in town were built in the Geogian period, around one of the largest cobbled market places in England.

Staithes is a pretty fishing village set in North Yorkshire. The vilage is overlooked by a headland, and a walk into the village offers great views from above. The village remains pretty much as it was with many old cottages, and a nice harbour. The village has associations with Captain Cook who worked here in his earlier years. Downside is it is full of tourists, especially in summer, and you cannot park in the village, and you have to pay for the privelage of a long walk.

Looks like a very picturesque area. I like your picture with the sheep (I'm originally from Wisconsin, where it's always cows, cows, cows)! |
