Two of Richmond’s famous
landmarks are visible from the
banks of the Coal River: the Richmond Bridge and
the
Catholic Church.

The host of sandstone
structures and established trees make Richmond
a photographer’s dream. The local shops sell
distinctively Tasmanian goods, old-fashioned sweets, ‘baked
delights’ as well as the usual village fare.
Complimenting the shops are many quality galleries, craft
shops, eateries and accommodation providers.
The atmosphere and
authenticity of Richmond makes it one of the most popular
visitor destinations in Tasmania. For more information
