A mill has stood on this site for hundreds of years and Woodmill itself was built in the mid-1800s after a fire destroyed the previous iteration. Working as a flour mill, it finally ceased operation in the 1950s and is an activity centre today, offering watersports.

Occupying a peaceful stretch of the Itchen, next to a weir, the mill also makes the place where the tidal effect on the Itchen ceases. Above the mill, the Itchen is freshwater.
