Route Description for Richmond River Swale Circular Walk
Walking the Richmond River Swale Circular Trail is a fun activity along the border of the Yorkshire Dales, as it will lead you through some easy to traverse riverside terrain that is suitable for nearly every age and skill level. There is one uphill climb through the forest around the midway point of the walk, but there are some steps to help you make your way up the hillside.
After following along the picturesque banks of the River Swale and making your way up the steps through the forest, you will pass through the charming village of Hudswell and follow the quiet country road back into Richmond, crossing over the historic Richmond Bridge to arrive back at the trailhead.
