River Bela

It runs through Beetham where it powers the Heron Corn Mill, and then flows through the deer park of Dallam Tower before skirting around the south of the village of Milnthorpe and joining the River Kent estuary between Sandside and Milnthorpe.

After the war the camp became an open prison, and there is now a residential school on the site.

[1] The river has been used for power since at least 1096 when there was a watermill at or near the present Heron Corn Mill.

[2] It is now used both to power the corn mill and to generate electricity using a Kaplan turbine.
