The Eling Experience

The Eling Experience is a great half day tourist attraction comprising the rare tidal powered Eling Mill, a comprehensive local heritage centre, nature walks and a pirate play area!

Eling Creek is situated at the peak of Southampton Water, where you can see tidal power used to mill flour on a daily basis in a building built in 1785! It’s really quite unusual to find a fully functioning one so take pictures for school and maybe buy some flour!

Just over the road from the Mill is the Totton and Eling Heritage Centre, which shows the history of the area from the Bronze Age onward through great visual displays, exhibits and recreated scenes.
