Reposted from @lensereflection Good Afternoon🍃🍂🍃🍂🍃 happy Sunday. Today photo is from Richmond in North Yorkshire. Richmond is a market town and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England and the administrative centre of the district of Richmondshire. The ancient borough of Richmond stands upon the left bank of the River Swale some 50 miles northwest of York and 12 south-west of Darlington. It lies in a bend of the river, on steeply sloping ground. The different levels of the town vary from 400 ft. to 500 ft. above ordnance datum, but the hills behind it attain a height of over 1,000 ft. The castle occupies the summit of a projecting spur of hill, which forms a distinct ridge terminating at the edge of the river in a rocky scarp over 100 ft. in height. It was thus practically inaccessible except on the side where the market-place stands, and here it was protected by the strongest portion of the wall, by an extensive moat, of which traces still remain, and by a massive keep. From this natural stronghold it guards the entrance to Swaledale, and its keep commands a wide view over the Plain of York. #richmondyorkshire #northuorkshire #photosofbritain #weloveengland
