Pow Beck

[1] Despite rising only 0.62 miles (1 km) south of Whitehaven Harbour, the stream flows south for 2.8 miles (4.5 km) to the coast at St Bees.

[2] The present course was much altered by the Furness Railway in 1849 to improve the drainage of the valley.

This included movement of a weir feeding Seamill, an undershot water mill.

The beck is defined as a flood risk due to the topography and geology of Whitehaven just to the north of where the stream rises.
