Explore the mill

Wheels and stones turn, grinding the grain as they have done for many hundreds of years.

Visit The Tide Mill, Woodbridge, one of only a handful in the world still producing flour on a regular basis and among the first tide mills in the country, working on the same site for over 850 years. Book online for a weekend visit and experience history through visual insights, unique computer generated imagery and children’s activities to discover how the grain and flour move around the Mill. Most days you can even see the huge oak water wheel turning.

Find Us

Woodbridge stands on the A12, the road that links London and Lowestoft and on the rail line that links Ipswich with Lowestoft. From either direction follow signs to Woodbridge and take any entrance into the town. The Tide Mill is by the river and accessible from several car parks. See the Plan Your Visit page for more details.

Access

Woodbridge Tide Mill is a Grade I listed building dating back to 1793. As you can imagine this, together with the building being over three floors, does give us some challenges in being able to provide equitable access. Click the button to find out more.

Dogs

Dogs in Woodbridge Tide Mill Museum

Woodbridge Tide Mill Museum is a food production facility, legally bound to follow food production regulations. It still grinds, packages and sells flour to individuals and through retailers.
The Mill is closed during flour production for resale and is cleaned before and after. Because of this…
well-behaved dogs are permitted, at the Duty Warden’s discretion, on the ground floor only.
Sadly we cannot allow dogs on the first and second floors.
