Sir, - Recently, we visited Richmond.
Apart from nearly being killed at the new Scotch Corner roundabout, we had a very entertaining day.
There are many shops which we don't have in Darlington, including The Edinburgh Woollen Mill. The hills are very hard work and the castle out of bounds because of the prices. I would have loved to go up the castle keep, but a helicopter would be needed now.
There are three museums, each well worth seeing. Our own museum disappeared a long time ago.
Richmond also has an excellent cinema, which is more than can said for many other towns of its size.
We had excellent meal in The Castle Tavern. The parking is free for a limited time, and they have a different MP to the one we have here for which they are very lucky.
JOHN A BARR Darlington.
Editor's note: We hope Mr Barr takes advantage of our reduced price entry offer for the castle in today's paper (see page 15). The helicopter is more difficult to arrange.
