Richmond is a peaceful base for the region’s many attractions. From here you can discover wineries, beaches, art galleries, beautiful river valleys and horse treks. There are three national parks close at hand – Nelson Lakes, Abel Tasman and Kahurangi. The nearby Richmond Ranges are a great place for hiking and mountain biking. In winter you can ski at Rainbow Valley. Richmond has a comprehensive shopping area and a good choice of eating places.
