Catrake Force is a waterfall on the River Swale in North Yorkshire, England.
[1] It is not visible from the road but is accessible via a campsite in Keld.
[2] It comprises a series of four steps, each its own small waterfall, and each with a very different character – the largest single drop being about 20 feet (6.1 m).
[3] It lies just upstream of Keld, downstream from Wain Wath Force.
[6] East Gill Force, a nearby waterfall on the tributary of East Gill just above its confluence with the Swale, is more obvious and accessible (being on both the Pennine Way and Coast to Coast Walk) and is often mistaken for Catrake Force.
