This is a view of the River Swale just below the Falls at Richmond. North Yorkshire. In winter the river is a torrent, but in summer it drops to a gentle flow, exposing it's rocky bed and inviting paddlers to dip in. This was painted from my own photograph.

The waterfalls on the River Swale and it makes its way through the North Yorkshire town of Richmond is a popular Summer tourist attraction for people visiting North Yorkshire

The River Swale lends it's name to the local valley of Swaledale, which is one of the northernmost dales in Yorkshire Dales National Park. The river flows through the market town of Richmond North Yorkshire where it flows over a number of falles on its way down the valley towards the North Sea.

Richmond falls are some of the last falls on the River Swale before it joins the River Ure on its way to the North Sea. The waterfalls are near the centre of the North Yorkshire town of Richmond and a popular place for cooling off on hot summer days.

The walls of Richmond Castle in North Yorkshire as they rise above the River Swale. Building began in 1071 by the Norman Alan Rufus as a defence against uprisings in the North which had already incurred King William's wrath and retribution. Further improvements such as the 100ft high keep were puit in place by Duke Conan of Brittany - Rufus' great-nephew in the C12th. By the mid 1500s it had fallen out of use but with the rise of tourism was repaired in the 1800s and is a Grade1 listed building Nikon D7100 Nikkor 18-200
