What a great way to introduce our granddaughter to Alpacas, it’s a lovely 2 hour activity out in the woods with the children, ( big or small) leading the alpaca through the set trails in their own woods and grounds. The animals are used to walking and being led, so nothing to fear from the alpaca, I can’t say the same for the children..?? On returning to the farm, there’s goats, chickens, pigs, sheep all in pens or compounds to look at or pet. The owners and staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable, you’d be surprised at the answers, I learnt a lot, hopefully my granddaughter did also. We would recommend this to anyone with children, or adults.

The Grade II* listed Eling Tide Mill, which has stood at the centre of life in Eling for centuries, is one of only a handful of working tide mills left in the UK. The Eling Tide Mill, its gift shop, adjacent Visitor Centre, Mill Café and the surrounding riverside walks, combine to form The Eling Tide Mill Experience. Visitors can step back in time and enjoy learning about the workings of the newly restored mill and discover how the tide is harnessed to power the centuries old machinery. The mills fascinating story and history continues in the Discovery Room where interactive displays include opportunities for visitors of all ages to get hands on with quern stones and a working model of a tide mill. Wholemeal and brown flour, freshly milled on site, is available to buy in the mills gift shop or can be enjoyed in some of our breads and cakes in Mill Café along with lots of other delicious menu cakes in Mill Café along with lots of other delicious menu choices.
Very good to visit upgraded / refreshed 2 years ago and now very easy to see the inner workings of a tide mill . Nice cafe and free parking too. Check to see opening times and days before you visit.
