Catrigg Force and Stainforth Force walk from Stainforth (Full Walk)

Walk Summary This circular walk to Catrigg Force (waterfall) and Stainforth Force (waterfall) from Stainforth, a village in the Yorkshire dales takes approximately 2 hours 15 minutes. The walk climbs out of Stainforth to visit the fairytale-esque waterfall of Catrigg Force, set in a wooded gorge. The height gained affords wonderful panoramic views of Pen-y-ghent and Ingleborough. Walled lanes take us on to a pleasant riverside walk before arriving at the impressive Stainforth Force waterfall, before heading over the 17th century packhorse bridge back into Stainforth.
