IMPORTANT
The Mill, as a limited space and food processing facility continues to require all visitors to wear face masks to ensure the safety of both staff and visitors. It would be appreciated if children under the age of 11 and above 5 would also wear masks.
Plan your trip to Woodbridge Tide Mill Museum
Woodbridge Tide Mill is great to visit and it pays to plan ahead.
See below about how to get to us, parking and the best times to visit.
Because the Mill uses the tides to turn the big mill wheel, we show here the times when the wheel is likely to be turned. There’s plenty to see when the wheel isn’t turning, but the table is useful because when the wheel turns you get to see the old wooden machinery in action. Of course we can’t promise that the wheel will be turning, things go wrong, but the times shown are when it can turn i.e when the water in the tide mill pond is higher than the River Deben and so the water flowing back into the river can drive the wheel.
