Birkwood Lock is situated on the Aire & Calder Navigation close to Wakefield in West Yorkshire. The canal was originally built to connect Leeds to the Humber and the North Sea. The nearby Stanley Ferry Aqueduct - a scheduled ancient monument and the picturesque countryside, make it a popular place for pleasure boats and visitors alike.
The site is approximately 60m long and currently provides space for up to 3 boats.
