ELING TIDE MILL MAPS AND DIRECTIONS

The 'Eling Tide Mill Experience' is comprised of the Tide Mill, Visitors' Centre, St. Mary's Church, Eling Creek, Goatee Beach and local walks along the River Blackwater. There is a toll bridge between the tide mill and the car park on Eling Hill. Approaching Eling from Jacob's Gutter Lane would enable visitors to avoid the toll bridge.
