Bridge House Hotel

Catterick Bridge is a historic bridge over the River Swale in North Yorkshire, in England. The bridge was constructed between 1421 and 1425, with funding from William de Burgh and seven other local nobles. In 1505, St Anne's bridge chapel was built to the east of the south end of the bridge. The southern pillar of the bridge fell into disrepair, and in 1562 Roger Burgh and two other nobles agreed to fund repairs. These were completed in 1590, but in 1674 the bridge was again recorded as being in poor repair. In 1792, John Carr of York widened the bridge by 13 feet, on the downstream side, and demolished the chapel. He also refaced the north and south arches on the upstream side. In 1914, the Catterick Camp Military Railway was laid across the western carriageway of the bridge, but in 1922 a dedicated railway bridge was constructed a little further upstream. In 1969, the bridge was Grade II* listed. The bridge now carries Catterick Road, the A6136. It was formerly part of the A1, which now crosses the Swale a short distance upstream to the west. It is built of sandstone and consists of three arches, slightly pointed on the older, upstream, side. It has triangular cutwaters with hollow chamfered tops, rising to canted pedestrian retreats, a band, and parapets with triangular coping, ending in circular bollards.

Catterick Bridge is a hamlet about 1-mile (1.6 km) north of Catterick, at the south end of Catterick road bridge. The hamlet includes Catterick Racecourse and a few houses. The Sunday market, held at the racecourse, was once the largest of its kind in Northern England. After declining fortunes, the market closed in 2016. The former Bridge House Hotel currently stands derelict after a fire destroyed a vast majority of the Grade II listed building in 2014. There had been a coaching inn at this site since at least the 16th century. After several attempts to auction the property, it was removed from the market, in October 2020, due to lack of interest. Charles Macintosh, the inventor of the Mackintosh raincoat, Sir John Beresford, 1st Baronet and William Beresford, 1st Viscount Beresford were educated at Catterick Bridge.

Catterick Racecourse, sometimes known as Catterick Bridge Racecourse, is a thoroughbred horse racing venue one-mile northwest of Catterick in North Yorkshire, England, near the hamlet of Catterick Bridge. The first racing at Catterick was held in 1783. Catterick stages Flat and National Hunt racing. Both tracks are left-handed, sharp, and undulating. The flat course is just over a mile round, with a 3-furlong run-in. There is a straight 5 furlongs course, which runs downhill for 2 furlongs before joining the round course. The jumps course is about 1 mile 2 furlongs round, with eight fences, three in the home straight and five in the back straight. Both straights have an open ditch. Two-mile races start on a chute that extends from the home straight. The runners jump one fence or hurdle before joining the main course. The run-in from the last fence is 240 yards. The national hunt course is on the inside of the flat course on the home straight but switches to the outside for the back straight before returning to the inside on the home turn. Both courses suit front runners; it is not a course for long-striding horses. The gravel subsoil means the going is usually good. It has been said that "it is not one of the North's most glamorous fixtures". The Catterick Sunday Market, held on the racecourse grounds, is the largest Sunday Market in the North of England. The international flat racing champion Collier Hill won his first race here in March 2002. The feature events at the course are the North Yorkshire Grand National in the Jumps season, held in January, and the Catterick Dash in the Flat season, held in October. There are plans to create an All-Weather track and change the layout of the National Hunt course.

The Catterick Bridge Explosion occurred on 4 February 1944 in the railway sidings at Catterick Bridge station, on the Richmond Branch Line/Catterick Camp Railway in North Yorkshire, England. It killed twelve people and injured more than a hundred. The incorrect loading of explosives into railway wagons is believed to have been the cause, but because of wartime restrictions, reporting of the event was not as widespread as it would have been had the explosion occurred in peacetime.

Catterick services is a proposed motorway service area (MSA) near to Catterick village in North Yorkshire, England. The services were first proposed in 2019, receiving planning permission in 2022, and a revised permission in December 2024 due to a legal issue with the previous approval of 2022. The services have been objected to and criticised due to the location of the site as it will affect wildlife in the area. It was also objected to on the grounds of other nearby services along the stretch of the A1(M) in North Yorkshire, however, government designations state that Leeming Bar, Coneygarth, Scotch Corner and Barton Park services are all motorway rest areas (MRAs), not being of sufficient standard to be motorway service areas (MSAs).
