As you come over the hill and see the river, the mill, its water wheel and traditional cottage, it looks as if nothing could disturb the tranquillity. But it is not always so quiet. If you come to the mill when there is flax pulling, you will find a hive of industry, and when the beetling engines are running, their thunder fills the valley.
