Pow Burn

[1] The Pow Burn is fed by a small loch near the estate of Coodham and is narrow until it reaches Prestwick, where it starts to widen.

Prestwick Holiday Park overlooks the mouth of the burn, where it flows into the Firth of Clyde.

Powbank Mill closed at the outbreak of World War II, when it was requisitioned as a Canteen/Naafi.

After the war, the mill never returned to the family, being the home of the Scottish Aviation Club, before they moved into the St Cuthbert's site on Kirk Street.

Plants and animals been sighted at the Pow include otters, red admiral, rare dragonfly species and songbirds such as thrush and nightingale.
