As one of the only working Tide mills in the country, this hidden gem in Eling and Totton is well worth a visit. It still mills flour from locally grown wheat which is available to buy in the Mill Shop. There is a good Cafe on site and local parking just over the Toll bridge is free and there are wheelchair accessible walks around the Mill Pond and local foreshore.
Very interesting visit, saw the mill start up and start milling with a very good explanation from the (young) miller
Eling Tide Mill is one of the great experiences - My great Grandfather was the Miller here in the late 1800's. The building itself is fascinating - the DVD we bought showed exactly how the Mill works so great to hear the whooshing of the water - and see the wheel system well worth a visit
A working tide mill. Fascinating and informativfe as it shows the visitor how centuries ago man leart to use tyhe poer of the tide to produce the energy needed to grind corn. Step back in history and marvel at the ingenuity.
Eling Tide Mill is a wonderful place to visit. It takes you back in time to an era where men used what nature provided in order to produce products. In this instance the power of the tides to operate a mill to grind corn. The mill operates today just as it did centuries ago.. A nice cafe on site for light refrehments.
