Catterick Camp railway station was a railway station in North Yorkshire, England. It was built as the terminus of the sub branch of the Eryholme-Richmond branch line to serve Catterick Camp, now Catterick Garrison. Along with the rest of the stations on the branch it was closed in 1964, but the line remained open until December 1969. The station had one narrow platform, and at the eastern end was a red-brick ticket office which was 18 feet (5.5 m) long. The original platform was made from wood, but was rebuilt in brick by Italian prisoners of war in 1943. On 15 September 1917, a set of carriages ran away from the station and were derailed. According to the Darlington & Stockton Times of 22 September 1917, four soldiers were killed although one report claims three people were killed.

The Army Ground was a cricket ground in Catterick Garrison, North Yorkshire. The Garrison was established in 1914 and construction of a cricket ground for use by the British Army personnel stationed there followed. During the Second World War, services matches were played at the ground. Many of the participants in these matches were enlisted cricketers from Yorkshire, including Bill Bowes, Len Hutton and Hedley Verity. The ground hosted its only first-class cricket match in 1954, when a Combined Services cricket team played the touring Pakistanis. The Combined Services Gerry Tordoff recorded the only first-class century to be made there, with a score of 156 not out in the Combined Services first innings. The match would end in a draw. In 2015, a £25 million retail complex, Princes Gate, opened on the site of the ground.

Risedale Beck is a small river that rises on Hipswell Moor, near Catterick Garrison in North Yorkshire, England. The name derives from Old Norse as meaning either Risi's Valley (a personal name) or translated as a valley overgrown with brushwood. Risedale Beck flows eastwards into Catterick Garrison as Leadmill Gill, (also known as Cottages Beck) which in turn flows into Colburn Beck, a tributary of the River Swale. The length of the beck from source to the River Swale is 6.5 miles (10.4 km). As the beck passes through Catterick Garrison, its northern bank forms the edge of Foxglove Covert, a nationally acclaimed nature reserve on military land. Otters have been noted at the covert and they were filmed fishing on the beck. In June 2007, the area suffered 2-months worth of rain in 48 hours. This led to the beck being swollen from what is normally a trickle to waist deep water. A British Army infantry course on their final 8 mi (13 km) fitness test forded the beck. One private was swept away to his death.

Colburn Hall is a historic building in Colburn, North Yorkshire, a village in England. The oldest part of the complex is a hall with an undercroft, now known as the courthouse, which was constructed in about 1300. About 50 years later, another two-storey block was constructed; this now forms the cross-wing of the hall. It is possible that the two structures were linked by a central range, probably built of timber; or alternatively, that they were separate but associated buildings. If a central range did exist, it was demolished before 1718, the date of a surviving sketch showing the current arrangement. In 1662, a new range was added to the west cross-wing, which was thereafter used as the new Colburn Hall, by the D'Arcy family. It was later used as a farmhouse, and was Grade II* listed in 1951. The courthouse had its roof rebuilt, and a barn was built onto it. The building itself was later used as a barn, with the ground floor used for stabling by the 19th century. The courthouse was Grade I listed in 1969. It was added to the Heritage at Risk register in 2000, at which time it was disused, but it was restored in 2010. The hall is built of stone, with quoins, and a stone slate roof with stone copings, shaped kneelers, and finials. It has two storeys, and a T-shaped plan, with a front range of four bays, and a rear outshut. The doorway has a slightly chamfered surround and a hood mould, above which is a carved coat of arms. The windows vary, and include sashes and casements, some with mullions. Inside, there is an 18th-century stone surround for a range. The courthouse is also built of stone, with quoins, and a pantile roof with stone slates at the eaves, raised verges with moulded coping, and finials. There are two storeys, consisting of a first-floor hall and an undercroft, and five bays. It contains doorways and windows of various types, and retains an early fireplace in the east wall of the upper floor.
