Windle-reach was a lower part of the Withywindle river beginning at the Withy-weir straight up to the Grindwall.

Etymology

The word "reach" can refer to any length of a river or to a level stretch between locks in a canal, but especially to "a straight portion of a stream or river, as from one turn to another" which is here the most probable explanation, as it gives a word-play combining windle 'winding' and reach 'straight'.
