The River Deben and Tide Mill as travel highlights

Woodbridge Tide Mill is described as one of only two working tidal mills still operating in the United Kingdom.

If the River Deben, the harbour and the Tide Mill are the focus of your trip, the desired proximity to these local highlights should play an important role when looking for accommodation.

Historic townscape and Sutton Hoo

Woodbridge combines a historic appearance with Tudor, Georgian, Regency and Victorian architectural elements. The history of Woodbridge is connected, among other things, with boatbuilding, ropemaking and sailmaking – as part of the town’s historical context.
