Ripon is a historic cathedral city in North Yorkshire, England, with a rich heritage dating back to the 7th century. The city is known for its well-preserved medieval cathedral, Ripon Cathedral, which has been a place of worship for over 1,300 years. As one of England's smallest cities, Ripon combines its historical significance with a close-knit community atmosphere.

The city maintains several distinctive traditions, including the daily ceremony of the Ripon Hornblower, where a horn is blown at the four corners of the market square's obelisk at 9 PM, a custom that has continued unbroken for centuries. The city's cultural landscape includes important historical sites such as Ripon Museum Trust's three law and order museums, which provide insights into Victorian life and justice. The surrounding area features notable attractions including Fountains Abbey, a UNESCO World Heritage site, reflecting the region's significant monastic history.
