Meet in the Market Square (free parking in the square is only for a limited time and not enough for this walk - use Nun's Close Car Park instead)

This route takes you up to Willance's Leap Monument and then down to the River Swale for a peaceful and relaxing 3 hour circular route.

Plenty of places to stop for a picnic along the way, pick up some food in Richmond town centre first.
