Everything you need to get the most from your visit to the city of Ripon, Yorkshire's biggest little city!

Get the inside track on this miniature city by visiting Ripon Tourist Information Centre.  Located in the Georgian splendour of Ripon's impressive town hall building, the office directly overlooks the hustle and bustle of the ancient marketplace.

Pick up a copy of Ripon Revealed for a journey of discovery into Ripon's ancient charms and thousand year old traditions.  Before you venture out to Lightwater Valley or Fountains Abbey, make sure you discover the delights afforded to visitors who stay awhile inside the city limits - independent shops and cafes, award winning parks and gardens and shady canal side walks.

Our  friendly and experienced team offers a wealth of first hand local knowledge, whether you need somewhere to lay your head for the night, relax at the end of a long day's sight seeing or keen to plan the rest of your visit.

Ripon Tourist Information Centre has a wide range of publications, local guides, maps and souvenirs to help you make the most of your visit.
