Glayo Mill

From the Middle Ages and especially in the Ancien Régime, watermills sprang up along the rivers. Glayo mill, for milling grain, was fed by a derivation canal on the stream. It was associated with a windmill of the same name, to the east on the hill. Sometimes this use of two types of power was needed when the water level did not allow the wheel to operate. Glayo mill was not the only one to take water from this watershed on the Blavet river, as further upstream there was Kermouël mill and downstream, Bodery mill.
