Catrigg Force is a lovely waterfall that is hidden away in a deep gorge above the village of Stainforth. The waterfall is set back in the trees but opens out beautifully as you enter the gorge. There are two main drops of twenty plus foot separated by a 60 foot copse; apparently the famous composer Elgar’s favourite spot. The falls do require a little effort to reach but the track is excellent.

A hidden gem, this waterfall lies deep within a wooded gorge and is a perfect secluded spot loved by everyone who finds it. The composer Edward Elgar had friends in Settle and, it is said, enjoyed the walk up to Catrigg Force whenever he visited.Catrigg Force is found a short distance from the village of Stainforth, just north of Settle.
