Hiking
Milby Lock is a historic working lock on the River Ure at Boroughbridge, forming the eastern end of the Milby Cut — an 18th‑century navigation channel engineered to bypass the old Boroughbridge mill weir. It remains fully operational today, is accessible by public footpath, and sits beside one of the interpretation boards for the 1322 Battle of Boroughbridge.
