Orgate Force

Orgate Force is a waterfall on Marske Beck, located in the Yorkshire Dales near Richmond.

Situated approximately 100 yards upstream from Orgate Bridge, the falls spread across a wide berth and typically display multiple cascades in normal weather conditions, though they are less impressive during dry spells.

The waterfall sits on private land within a rural and tranquil setting. It lies along a popular circular walking route from Marske that takes in Clints Wood, Throstle Gill, and Telfit Bank, and has been noted as a pleasant spot to stop along the way.

Marske Beck itself is a tributary of the River Swale, rising on Hurst Peat Moss to the north of Marrick Moor.
