Visiting Richmond and Leyburn in North Yorkshire | Tiger Tom and Wild Will
It was Tom's birthday weekend and we all love to get out in the fresh air. One of our favourite places to visit is Richmond in North Yorkshire. We come here all the time, we love spending time at the Castle and playing by the river.
It was Sunday 10th February and a little chilly. The sun was out though. We parked up in Richmond and headed for lunch. Our go-to lunch stop in Richmond is fish and chips at Barkers of Richmond! The fish and chips are fantastic! We decided to skip the castle this time as we were only there last month! Instead we checked out the sweet shop and the antique shop before heading down to the river.
We were amazed at how high the water level was in the river. There had been a flood warning issued and it was obvious why! We went down onto the rocks and spent a good while trying to skim stones.
We had a walk back to the car then drove over the moors near Reeth just off Whipperdale Bank. There are army ranges here so there are only certain places you can stop but it's a great location for pictures. It was very windy though!
Finally we headed to Leyburn and the Leyburn Shawl. This is a lovely walk in Leyburn but right at the start is a big park which is almost always deserted! Tom and Will love this park and will spend ages here playing. By the time we'd finished in the park it was time to head home.

Places to see in ( Caernarfon - UK )
Caernarfon is a royal town, community, and port in Gwynedd, Wales. Caernarfon lies along the A487 road, on the eastern shore of the Menai Strait, opposite the Isle of Anglesey. The city of Bangor is 8.6 miles (13.8 km) to the north-east, while Snowdonia fringes Caernarfon to the east and south-east. Carnarvon and Caernarvon are Anglicised spellings that were superseded in 1926 and 1974, respectively. The villages of Bontnewydd and Caeathro are close by.
In the 13th century, Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, ruler of Gwynedd, refused to pay homage to Edward I of England, prompting the English conquest of Gwynedd. This was followed by the construction of Caernarfon Castle, one of the largest and most imposing fortifications built by the English in Wales. In 1284, the English-style county of Caernarfonshire was established by the Statute of Rhuddlan; the same year, Caernarfon was made a borough, a county and market town, and the seat of English government in North Wales.
The ascent of the House of Tudor to the throne of England eased hostilities between the English and resulted in Caernarfon Castle falling into a state of disrepair. The city has flourished, leading to its status as a major tourist centre and seat of Gwynedd Council, with a thriving harbour and marina. Caernarfon has expanded beyond its medieval walls and experienced heavy suburbanisation. Its population includes the largest percentage of Welsh-speaking citizens anywhere in Wales. The status of Royal Borough was granted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1963 and amended to Royal Town in 1974. The castle and town walls are part of a World Heritage Site described as the Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd.
Caernarfon is situated on the southern bank of the Menai Strait facing the Isle of Anglesey. It is situated 8.6 miles (13.8 km) south-west of Bangor, 19.4 miles (31.2 km) north of Porthmadog and approximately 8.0 miles (12.9 km) west of Llanberis and Snowdonia National Park. Caernarfon was at one time an important port, exporting slate from the Dyffryn Nantlle quarries. A temporary Caernarfon railway station in St. Helen's Road is the northern terminus of the narrow gauge Rheilffordd Eryri / Welsh Highland Railway. Work began on a permanent station for the town in February 2017. The new station is expected to be open to passengers in Spring 2018. Caernarfon Airport is 4.5 miles (7.2 km) to the south west, and offers pleasure flights and an aviation museum.
