A Grade I listed tide mill on the Suffolk riverside where the water wheel still turns and grinds flour.
Woodbridge Tide Mill is a rare tide mill that still grinds wholemeal flour, with a huge oak water wheel that you can often see turning. A mill has stood on this riverside site since medieval times, and the white-boarded building you visit today is Grade I listed. The mill itself is the exhibit, so you get a close look at the machinery as you go.
Tip: There's no parking at the mill itself, so use one of the pay and display car parks in Woodbridge, or walk from the station. Check the wheel turning times calendar before you go.
Drive times are typical times by car with no traffic. Check opening times and book tickets on each attraction's own website before you go.

Fabulous overall..spotlessly clean, modern, thoughtful little extrasbed not that comfy but appreciate they are part of general fixtures and fittings and down to individual preference.
The lodge was a beautiful, quiet and amazing place to spend a weekend in. It had everything you needed, oven , microwave, dishwasher and washing machine. Plus flat screen television in lounge and master bedroom which had its own bathroom, game console. It was so quiet and rabbits and ducks running around it was magnificent
Lovely lodge, very clean, tidy & comfortable. Great location.Bonus, two-ensuite bathrooms, good size rooms with plenty of facilities.Private garden for hot tub was great especially for the dog to run around.
Brilliant, what more is there to say.Well recommended place. You wouldn't be disappointed. Owners thought of everything. Extra touches left for us. Well appreciated.
Need to look at health and safety
We stopped in the 'sunseeker sensation 3' lodge with a hot tub big enough for 6 people. 3 bedroom with the master bedroom having an ensuite. Lovely. The other 2 bedrooms had 2 single beds in each. Enough for 6 people to stay. Very spacious living area with fridge freezer. Kettle. Toaster. Microwave. Washing machine and dishwasher.
Perfect little holiday would highly recommend, hot tub was a big hit with my 14 year old! Garden fenced off was fabulous for the dog, and we had amazing weather for the week we stayed! Would definitely return to the Jasmine! Excellent little holiday home!
If I could have given 20 out of 10 for this lodge i would have done. It was immaculate!!!! Everything was provided for our comfort and I would definitely return here. Could not find fault with anything at all. Many thanks to you
Brilliant, spotlessly clean and packed with everything you could need and having little garden was great for my dog
The lodge on first inspection was good. But there were odd things that needed attention.. cobwebs on all ceiling lights. Main bedroom door tended to get stuck and was difficult to open. Ironing board was broken.
Perfect stay
We stayed for a week in The Jasmine and could not fault it at all. The lodge was very clean with lots of outside seating, the hot tub was great and the enclosed garden was perfect for our dog. The beach is a short walk from the lodge through the very clean site. The fish and chips van was an added bonus. We will definitely return and highly recommend
van ok.shame about building work next door.spoilt the peace and quiet
Great lodge
The HolliesHaving just returned home from this site I have decided to enlighten potential travellers with a fair review.There is a Welcome book in the lodge for visitors to make comments but I feel this may not be reaching the owners or the site management hence the suggestions & complaints look like they are being ignored.My wife and I stayed in C18 Sandpiper which has two bedrooms, two bathrooms with showers and decking with a hot tub.My main complaint is the closeness of the lodge C17 (3 bedroom) decking to our hot tub area affording us with no privacy. This is due to the site squeezing in lodges on a rectangular curved area instead of having lodges on the sides and just one lodge at each short ends. If you do decide to holiday here I would recommend you rent C19. Many of the comments in the book suggested more frying pans, more wall hanging hooks in the bathrooms and my personal thoughts are as follows.The bedside units in both bedrooms have bedside lights that cannot be used, apart from one, they have leads with usb connections so you will need to take three pin usb adapters with you.The lodge was found to be reasonably clean when we arrived but not to the standard I would have expected considering the cost.The hot tub was checked daily by a really nice guy whom it was a pleasure to converse with.For the attention of the management: The entrance door needs some adjustment as closing it is difficult with daylight and wind howling through the top.Overall we would possibly stay at this site again, but in C19, due to the quietness, no clubhouse, and the relaxing ambiance. A perfect place to chill out. Wish you all the very best. David
Great spot to unwind, really peaceful and cosy atmosphere.
Not the lodge we had booked but it was a nice bright and clean home for our stay
We absolutely loved our stay! The lodge was stunning and really felt like a cosy retreat. That said, a couple of things could be improved: blackout curtains in the master bedroom would be a game changer for better lie-ins. Also, itd be great if we could control the hot tubs temperature - 36C was a bit chilly for our liking in the evenings. Plus, on our last morning, the hot tub was drained by 8am, so no quick dip before leaving. Considering check-in was late at 5pm, we only really had three full days to enjoy everything. Still, overall, a lovely break!
Brilliant lodge very big
Spacious, clean, perfectly equipped for family stay. Hot tub is the best addition to the place.
Lovely cabin. Clean and tidy. Maybe a few bowls more for kitchen snd s pair of tongs and outside table & chairs maybe be nice.Cleaner needs to look behind doors as quite alot of dust there but elsewhere spotless.
Absolutely superb lodge style dwelling in a quiet predominantly touring/camping park. The lodge we had was spotlessly clean, fully equipped, even had a dishwasher and washing machine, beds all made, towels on the beds on arrival.The park where the lodges are is well maintained and clean.Only downside we had was our hot tub didn't get hot on day we arrived, but the second day was upto temperature and was amazing sitting in it at night looking up at the stars.There is a fish and chip shop van on site but not open every day, when it's open however it's delicious, supermarket within 5 min drive though, very close to the beach, quite a few steps down and back up. Ultimately would I stay again ? Already been looking at dates for next year.
We stayed at this cosy lodge and really enjoyed it. The bed was super comfy and everything in the kitchen was there. A few scuffs, but honestly, pretty normal for a holiday place.
Great stay overall, lovely lodge and friendly staff too!
Overall, we really enjoyed it, but the kitchen could do with some improved utensils and tools. Cheers!
Really loved the place, plenty of room and the hot tub was a highlight! Will return.
Great stay, the lodge was spotless and super comfy. Would come again!
We had a really lovely stay at The Harriet. The place was spotless and super comfy. They even greeted us with a bottle of bubbly, which was a nice touch! Our dog was made to feel welcome too, with proper covers for the furniture. Honestly, wed definitely recommend staying here - its like a home from home, really. Cheers!
Very relaxing stay overall!
Really enjoyed our stay
Lovely lodge in a peaceful area. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area.
Loved it. We had a baby in our party so booked a travel cot. While the cot was not in our lodge upon arrival, staff brought it over and assembled it within minutes and also threw in a high chair. The lodge itself was lovely and perfect for our needs - also very well equipped with kitchen utensils which wasn’t our experience elsewhere in prior years.
We hope to return.
What a fantastic holiday we had very clean site plenty of space in our lodge, when we arrived to check in staff were more than helpful when being shown where we were staying we will definitely be back next year. ??
Second time we have stayed here and won’t be the last. Lovely surroundings near to a stunning beach. Facilities are immaculate and the staff so friendly and cheerful.
We stayed in the kingfisher like a few other people have said for the money you pay this could do with abit of a spruce up the screen over the bath has been broken since at least January and we have just been in July so looks like the same issue but then again I didn’t report it ,can’t fault the staff though our hot tub was checked everyday by a friendly park warden , it was quiet at night no club room ( which I think makes it better ) made our own entertainment we would come back again but it appears to be fully booked already
The place is beautiful, the lodge was clean and the staff are very helpful.
We had a great time. My little one could not stop smilling with the whole experience.
Will definitely recommend and come again.
A modern spacious lodge set on a well kept site with excellent facilities for all ages. It was just a few minutes walk from the sea shore and an easy stroll along the coastline into Lowestoft, which is well worth a visit. Southwold is nearby, and the car collection at Caister Castle is a must for enthusiasts The hot tub was a real treat. Thoroughly recommended.
Lodge was lovely, could have been a bit cleaner. Site was nice and quiet but close to the beach which was ideal for us with dogs. Close to amenities and easy to go visit places. Site warden was very helpful and friendly.
