Woodbridge Tide Mill Museum is a Grade I listed building and a rare example of a tide mill whose waterwheel still turns. It still produces and sells stoneground wholemeal flour. A tide mill has stood here, on the banks of the River Deben, for over 853 years, with the earliest record of a tide mill on this site in 1170. Much restoration work has brought it back into use as a popular, interactive museum with exhibits on the environment, history, engineering and food production that bring the mill to life. Student and other group visits are encouraged to this unique piece of our national heritage. For its size, it’s one of the most visited and interesting attractions on the Suffolk Coast. Visitors can see the historic waterwheel in action at times published on woodbridgetidemill.org.uk where milling demonstrations are also advertised.. The Mill is closed from Nov – Mar each year.
