Pow Beck near St Bees

Pow Beck is a stream in western Cumberland, rising near Mirehouse and flowing in a south-westerly direction to the village of St Bees where it flows into the Irish Sea.

The present course of the beck 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.
