Map of the UK

Catterick is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, set beside the rolling valley of the River Swale and close to Richmond. The settlement sits on the line of the old Roman road Dere Street and was the site of the Roman fort known as Cataractonium, so there are layers of history from Roman times through the medieval period to the present.

Today the parish is strongly influenced by the neighbouring military garrison at Catterick Garrison, which shapes the local economy and social mix, alongside farming and leisure activities such as the nearby Catterick Racecourse. Its position near main road routes makes it a quiet but well connected community, combining long‑standing village life with a transient element from the armed forces and visitors.
