Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could be easily replaced by the power of the natural elements through a watercourse - natural or artificially created - in order to grind grain into corn or press oil from fruit, for example. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or * the water is guided above the wheel - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

The Fisherman's Cot pub occupies a rather lovely position on the banks of the River Exe and sits opposite the 17th-century Bickleigh Bridge. While the pub is lovely all by itself, it is also famous for something else. In the 60s, Paul Simon visited and is said to have got his inspiration for the song, 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', after seeing the Exe flow beneath Bickleigh Bridge. Once you know this, it's impossible to cross the bridge without getting the song stuck in your head, as I can attest. Lucky it's a fantastic piece of music.
