Caption
Mills (circles in left) were rarely sited above 300 meters elevation or on land broadly classified as moor, peat, fen or marsh (green area in left; upland landscape in right). The very few sites above 300 meters were commonly associated with mining activities. The more than 90% of mills sited below 200 meters elevation took advantage of the generally greater and more regular waterpower available there and maintained stronger links with populated villages surrounded by better transport networks. Photograph of the Derwent Moors was taken near Edale, Derbyshire.
