The Great Outdoors

The Easby Abbey loop is a beautiful walk that takes you alongside the River Swale and right past the abbey. Whether you park at the abbey and do the loop, walk from town or park at The Station, the walking route is simply fabulous. Whichever way you choose to go on the route, we would highly recommend that you stop by The Station for a bite to east, coffee or to watch a film! Inside The Station is the delicious Angel’s Share Bakery, Archers Ice Cream, a sweet shop and more!

Also in the heart of Richmond is the famous Richmond Falls, this is the perfect location for a picnic, walk or to stop off for an ice cream. It’s also an idyllic backdrop for a family picture! Sit back, relax and listen to the sound of water. You’ll find that during the summer months it is a top attraction for those looking to cool off and spend time with family and friends.
