Richmondshire can offer you and your workforce a living and working environment with a 'Quality of Life' second to none.
Richmondshire has a beautiful, healthy environment with good
schools, a superb range of housing at modest prices, first rate
health facilities and local services and amenities of first class
standard.
Richmondshire is indeed 'James Herriot Country', providing the
backdrop for the TV series, and while the District is a great
attraction to the tourist, it is a splendid place where people
enjoy living and working.
Indeed, should you or your workforce miss the congestion of
the city centre or the monotony of suburbia, Richmondshire's
excellent road network means that you can be in Newcastle, Leeds or
Middlesbrough within one hour of leaving the District.
Richmondshire's inherent advantages gave it the highest
quality of life index score for all the Districts in the North of
England.
