Wraxall: footpath to Watercress Farm The path runs from Backwell Bow and crosses the Land Yeo on or near the site of the vanished Backwell Mill. Watercress Farm looks derelict here. It had suffered a fire. A leat system and headpond powered a small waterwheel in a hut by the farm in 1988, purpose not known, but possibly with the wheel working as a water pump
