Nestled in a secluded woodland gorge, Catrigg Force is a hidden gem in the Yorkshire Dales. The composer Edward Elgar is rumoured to have been a huge fan of this waterfall and would hike here every time he visited friends in nearby Settle.

Just off this walk through the gate, we didn't choose today to go down to see the waterfall. Just be aware that you need to re-trace your steps to get back in the track (THERE IS NO EXIT AT THE BOTTOM)

You have to pull off the main path and then descend until you arrive at the top of the waterfall. You can view the waterfall here but you can also descend a path into a copse where there some steps to the bottom of the waterfall.
