Fascinating Facts:

The Woodbridge Tide Mill on the tranquil River Deben is one of just two working tide mills left in Britain (the other is in Eling, Hampshire). A tide mill has existed on that spot since 1170, meaning that man has been harnessing the power of the waves there for almost 850 years.
