About

Mildenhall sits in West Suffolk on the River Lark, a market town that serves surrounding arable and fenland farms. The town centres on a market square with a parish church and civic buildings. RAF Mildenhall airbase lies on the town’s north‑west edge and has long influenced the local economy and landscape; a U.S. Air Force presence operates from the base. Local employment is tied to agriculture, light industry and services that support nearby villages and traveller routes.

The area shows long settlement: a Roman silver hoard was discovered in 1942 in a field near Mildenhall, a find that points to Roman‑period activity here. Community facilities include a museum, leisure centre, schools, sports fields and a town hall. Roads, lanes and cycle routes link the town to farm tracks and drainage channels across the fen, and the River Lark threads through the settlement. Seasonal farming cycles and river levels shape patterns of life and land use around Mildenhall.
