The Yorkshire Dales village of Stainforth originally got its name from the ‘stony ford’ which connected two settlements on opposite banks of the River Ribble. The ford was replaced by a packhorse bridge in the 1670’s. The bridge today joins Little Stainforth with Great Stainforth. Further downstream lies Stainforth Force - this is where the river flows over a limestone shelf and cascades into a deep pool, creating an exquisite waterfall effect. Traditional grey stone cottages cluster on an uneven green next to Cowside Beck, and a small clapper bridge stretches from bank to bank. Catrigg Force, further along Stainforth Beck, is just a mile away. There is much to see, including visiting one of the best preserved limestone kilns or countless magnificent caves and caverns.
