Mildenhall is where Fen and Breckland meet. From time immemorial, this unique landscape of heath and fen has shaped the lives of those who lived in it. The inhabitants, in their turn, have changed the landscape to suit their own ends.

Mildenhall Museum, housed in two nineteenth century cottages, tells the story of this landscape, its flora, its fauna, its people and their history.

Over half-a-million years of history lie within these walls. From Stone Age flints to Roman treasure, from peat-cutter's becket to the dairymaid's fleeter, from the great Mildenhall Air Race to the Mildenhall Air Base, there is something for every one in Mildenhall.
