In the area

Mildenhall is 8km north-west of the town of Bury St. Edmunds, 30 km north-east of the city of Cambridge, and 60 km north-west of Suffolk's county town of Ipswich. The town centers around the market place with its 16th century hexagonal market cross and town pump; the town's market is held here on every Friday and originated as a weekly chartered market in medieval times (since the 15th century it is believed). The Mildenhall Museum in the centre of the town contains displays of times past, the local wildlife, the history of the RAF base from its opening in 1934, and information on the Mildenhall Treasure. The town has an array of family owned stores from a butcher, to a traditional fish and chip shop, to a pet shop with supplies and small animals.

Mildenhall is perhaps most famous for the discovery in 1943 of the Mildenhall Treasure. Now at the British Museum, the copy of the treasure is a hoard of Roman silver objects buried in the 4th century. The region between Devil's Dyke and the line between Littleport and Shippea Hill shows a remarkable amount of archaeological findings of the Stone Age, the Bronze Age and the Iron Age.
