Linton is a village and [[civil parish]] in the [[Craven]] district of [[North Yorkshire]], [[England]]. It is to the immediate south, and across the River Wharfe, from [[Grassington]], near [[Threshfield]] and eight miles north of the market town [[Skipton]]. The center of this small, handsome village features an impressively preserved almshouse, a pub and stone bridges over its beck. Not far to its north, the village makes a second impressive appearance, where that beck runs down to the [[River Wharfe]] at the impressive limestone Linton Falls, bridged for walkers on the path up the Wharfe's north bank to Grassington, along the Dalesway. Amidst the group of holiday lodgings close by the Falls is a charming, 14th Century, packhorse 'Little Emily's Bridge', a few minutes' walk from the church of Saint Michael and All Saints. Dating from the 12th Century, Linton Church (as it is usually called) spreads an apron of flat country churchyard, decorated with daisies and fine gravestones, upon a small river plain bounded by a bend to its east of the Wharfe, as it flows from the Falls toward Burnsall, along the Dalesway. Except in high water, the river is crossed near the churchyard by a famous set of ancient stepping stones, below an old (now renovated) mill house.
