Hoff Beck is a stream that is a tributary of the River Eden in the English county of Cumbria. The headwaters of the beck lie within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and include the tributary streams of Dry Beck, Scale Beck, Asby Beck and Oak Beck.
Dry Beck, Scale Beck and Asby Beck drain the Orton Fells and the north side of Great Asby Scar. Dry Beck flows into Scale Beck just to the south of the hamlet of Drybeck, whilst Asby Beck flows through the centre of the village of Great Asby. Hoff Beck itself forms with the confluence of Scale Beck and Asby Beck, and flows north, initially forming the boundary between the civil parishes of Hoff and Ormside. Shortly after the confluence, the beck flows over Rutter Force, a 30-foot (9.1 m) high waterfall.[1][2]
