Richmondshire Museum

Richmondshire Museum is a compact local-history museum just off Richmond's market place, exploring the Yorkshire Dales town's social and military heritage through period rooms, artefacts and displays. Dogs are welcome inside on a lead, making it a handy town-centre stop when the weather turns or you're tying together a Richmond day out with your four-legged companion. The museum opens Monday to Saturday, 10.30am to 4.30pm and is closed on Sundays.

There's no dedicated visitor car park, so you'll need to use nearby town parking. Admission charges apply and group visits can be arranged.

Exact dog-access areas aren't spelled out in detail, but the museum is reported to welcome dogs on a lead throughout. It's a useful fallback for dog owners exploring Richmond town centre, offering indoor respite when you'd rather not leave your dog tied outside or head straight back to the car.
