Founded
over 1300 years ago, Ripon offers so much to visit . The magnificent
Cathedral, newly restored Thorpe Prebend House, displaying 'Ripon in Wonderland'
and recently developed canal basin.

From the vibrant Market Place,
with its fine Georgian buildings and imposing 300 year-old obelisk, radiate
quaint medieval streets filled with fascinating shops, tea rooms and, alongside,
a floral shopping arcade. Throughout the year, the market square is alive
with entertainments, colour and culture.
This vibrant heart of Ripon was
called by Defoe 'the finest and most beautiful square that is to be seen
in England'.
