River Gowy

The River Gowy runs through Cheshire. It looks quiet and sleepy, but once used to power up to 20 water mills. Today, there are still a handful of mills left, including Walk Mill (of which more later), and I am told that at least one private residence is using the river to provide all their electricity. Popular with fishermen, it is home to several rare invertebrates, and has a thriving eel population.
