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 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.
