Welcome to Milkhouse Water

Milkhouse Water is a small stream that flows through the county of Wiltshire in England. It is a tributary of the River Avon and is approximately 10 miles long. The stream is named after the Milkhouse Farm, which is located near its source. The stream is an important part of the local ecosystem and provides a habitat for a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and water voles.

The Milkhouse Water is also an important source of water for the local community. The stream is used for irrigation and provides water for livestock. The water quality of the stream is closely monitored to ensure that it is safe for human consumption. The stream is also a popular spot for fishing, with anglers coming from all over the country to try their luck at catching trout and grayling.

In addition to its ecological and practical importance, Milkhouse Water also has a rich cultural history. The stream has been used for centuries by local people for washing clothes and as a source of drinking water. The area around the stream is also home to a number of historic buildings, including the Milkhouse Farm and the nearby village of Great Somerford. Today, Milkhouse Water remains an important part of the local landscape and continues to be cherished by the people who live and work in the area.
