Linton, North Yorkshire

Linton is a village and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England.

[1] It lies not far from Grassington, just south of the River Wharfe, and is 7 miles (11 km) north of Skipton.

The beck is crossed by two Grade II listed bridges on the village green,[2][3] and is overlooked by Fountaine's Hospital, a Grade II* listed chapel and almshouse built in the style of Sir John Vanburgh.

[6] Linton was historically a parish in Staincliffe Wapentake in the West Riding of Yorkshire.

Linton Falls on the River Wharfe consists of a natural limestone waterfall (crossed by a footbridge) and a pair of artificial weirs.
