Catrigg Force is a well-hidden waterfall
in the Yorkshire Dales. There are two routes to reach it – a walk from the nearby village of Stainforth, or you can walk from Settle, although it’s a little bit further, and
neither route is very well signposted until you’re already upon the waterfall.
We walked the path from Settle, which takes you
through the little picturesque village of Langcliffe and past Winskill Stones –
a 74-acre nature reserve known for its limestone pavement. The path up from
Langcliffe is quite steep, and it was really windy at this point, but the views make
up for it once you reach the top.
Because of its secluded setting, there was
nobody else at Catrigg Force when we arrived, so I was able to climb out over
the rocks to get a better view. Set in a secluded little woodland, Catrigg was one
of my favourites from the trip.
