Steve and Steff's Honeymoon trek

Day 9 : Reeth to Richmond

Halls, Churches, Bridges and lots and lots of Green.

This section is abundantly endowed with a huge variety of different sights and beautiful scenery. The journey from Reeth to Richmond is dotted with pretty little villages linked by lush green pastures flanked at all times by the meandering river Swale. Even Wainwright enthuses about this section, though he does mention that tomorrow is mud, mud and more mud.
The affable sheep have given way to inquisitive cows who would eat your packed lunch if you let them.
We are currently sat outside a pub in Richmond enjoying a traditional beer (It’s an old charter – we’ll explain later). It feels almost foreign being among people and cars having not seen either for so long. Richmond is a very pretty town in which to sit and watch the world wander past.
