Word of caution . If you go over the toll keep your tickets for at least 2 months. My mum and I visited paid the toll £1 cash way back in the summer (over 6 weeks ago). I've just received a fine of £10 (£35 if not paid in the next 2 weeks) from the council . I tend not keep tickets that long . Have a feeling I'm being ripped off . I was going back with my son . We will find somewhere else to go now .

I have just received a letter from Totton and Eling Council on 03.02.2023 for apparently driving across the bridge on 09.10.2022. I can't remember driving across it EVER, but I suppose I must have without realising it. The fee the council wants is a measly £1. The cost of the letter they posted to me must have eceeded this, you gotta laugh. If I didn't pay they would pursue me for this amount through the court system wasting even more council money in the process. To avoid their hipocracy I paid the fee even though I cant ever recall travelling through Eling Mill or going accross the bridge.

Took my four year old grandson last week. The I spy sheets in the mill were good for him as there is not a lot to see, but part of the ticket allows you into the Discovery Room in a building on the opposite side of the street, and this he loved, learning about an Archimedes Screw was his favourite. The cafe was small but lovely and the loos rate an A*. A short outing for just the mill but longer if you explore the surrounding countryside. Parking is free if you use the Cemetery car park on the opposite side of the toll bridge to the mill and there are some amazing walks and wildlife to be seen. All in all, a good outing.
