Currack Force

Currack Force is a waterfall on Stonesdale Beck in Upper Swaledale, situated close to the beck's confluence with the River Swale near Park Bridge. It lies just 300 metres from Wain Wath Force and drains water down from Stonesdale Moor.

Because it sits on a tributary rather than the main river, it is frequently overlooked by passing walkers. The fall is reached by a short, steep climb up Stonesdale Lane from Park Bridge, followed by a modest walk across a field to the gill.

In dry conditions it presents as a tall, wide drop into a reasonably deep pool; in wet weather the flow increases dramatically, producing a scintillating spray. A smaller cascade sits just above the main fall.

The waterfall is also accessible via the Pennine Bridleway through East Stonesdale, offering sweeping views of Upper Swaledale along the way.
