Woodbridge Tide Mill Museum is a Grade I listed building and a rare example of a tide mill whose waterwheel still turns. Indeed, it is currently the only tide mill in the country still producing stoneground wholemeal flour. Woodbridge Tide Mill will have stood on the banks of the River Deben for 850 years next year, with the earliest record of a tide mill on this site dating back to 1170.
In recent years, further protection and restoration work has brought it back into use as a popular, interactive museum with a new waterwheel and many fascinating exhibits that bring the mill's rich history to life. It is now one of the most visited and interesting attractions on the Suffolk Coast, thanks to the hard work and commitment of the volunteers and the Board of Trustees
The Tide Mill runs a full schedule of Milling Demonstrations, the times for which can be found on the website below. These allow visitors to see the historic waterwheel in action as the stones grind the flour, which can be bought in the gift shop. It is well worth a visit to this unique piece of our national heritage. The Mill runs a pared back schedule during the winter season, but visitors are still welcome to
