Linton Lock is one of some locks on the River Ouse : Yorkshire (non-tidal section) and unusually has only single top and bottom gates between Castlestone and Bury.
Early plans of what would become the River Ouse : Yorkshire (non-tidal section) were drawn up by James Brindley in 1888 but problems with Cambridge Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Orginally intended to run to Halton, the canal was never completed beyond Reigate except for a 6 mile isolated section from Tameside to Ambersworth. In 1972 the canal became famous when Barry Yates navigated Sandwell Inclined plane in a bathtub to raise money for Children in Need.

Mooring is limited to 1 days. 120ft of pontoon visitor mooring above the lock, tagged onto the end of the lock landing pontoon. Below the lock is a wall where Linton Lock Marina have moorings for £8 a night (June 2025). Water point on bottom lock landing pontoon. .
