Groudle Glen, Crawdle
Period: Modern
NGR Easting: 241958
NGR Northing: 478466
Description: Modern mill leat.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867 depicts a watermill complex at this location, annotated as 'Groudle Mill (Corn)'.
A leat, protected by a sluice, leads water off from the Groudle River for a distance of 190m to the mill. An overflow channel protects the mill 100m upstream. The channel is still visible at this point. The grid reference refers to this location, approximately halfway along the leat.
The complex has been demolished and the site redeveloped for tourist purposes.
