水力を利用して水車を回すという発想は、人類の探究心の古代からの発明であり、その起源は遠い昔に遡ります。このような構造のおかげで、自然または人工的に作られた水路を利用して、穀物を粉にしたり、果物から油を絞ったりするために、人間や動物の筋肉の力を自然の力で簡単に置き換えることができました。 水車には、主に2つの駆動方式があります。 * 流れる水が下から水車の羽根に当たることで回転させる方式、または * 水路（通常は「水車用水路」と呼ばれる）が水車の上部に設けられ、そこから水が羽根に落ちる方式です。この構造では、自然の重力により効率が高まります。

Very lovely

In the case of a "market cross," as we encounter here again, one would have to ask the fundamental question of whether it is actually primarily a small sacred monument—as its cross shape suggests—or whether it is more of a secular object. In times long past, such a cross—unlike classic wayside crosses or field crosses—was only allowed to be erected if the corresponding locality also possessed so-called "market rights"—that is, if it had been granted them by the local ruler.

In the middle of a small green area within the village, a cross rises atop a tall stone shaft. However, as hikers notice upon approach, this is by no means a small sacred monument in the sense of the wayside crosses common in some regions. Rather, this monument, like those found in many villages, is dedicated to the memory of the victims of war and tyranny.

Plenty of time to look around

Visit on non peak days/months and times it will be much more enjoyable

Famous for its honey-coloured traditional Cotswold stone buildings, Bourton-on-the-Water is often referred to as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds'. The River Windrush runs through the middle of the town with five stone bridges crossing it. The bridges were built between 1654 and 1911.

Lower Slaughter is a beautifully quaint village with the Little Eye stream running through the middle of it. The village mill with original water wheel sits proudly on one side of the stream.
