Richmond Hill

Right, so Richmond Hill. If you're doing a bit of shopping in town, it's worth a wander. It’s not massive, but it's got a few interesting places tucked away off Lord Street. You know, proper shops, not just the usual chains.

It’s got an average Google rating of 4.4 stars from over 300 reviews, so people seem to like it. You'll find it just off the main drag, running parallel to Lord Street really. Opening hours are generally 9am-5pm, but individual shops will vary, obviously. Check before you head down if you’re after something specific.

Don't expect a massive retail park, mind. It's more of a little arcade-y area with a mix of boutiques, cafes, and gift shops. It’s a nice little detour if you’re bored of the big high street names. You can always give them a ring on 01704 533133 if you're after something specific.

Parking can be a pain in that area, so I'd recommend using one of the town centre car parks and walking – it's only a few minutes away.
