The town is near the A11 and is located 60 km (37 mi) north-west of county town, Ipswich.
Mildenhall centres on a market place with a 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, it is believed, the 15th century. In 1934, Mildenhall was the start point of the MacRobertson Air Race to Melbourne, Australia. Mildenhall has its own radio station, ZACK FM (Forest Heath Public Radio), broadcasting on 105.3 FM; the transmitter is located at the top of St Mary's Church and radiates 100 W. The station format is classic and current hits plus specialist shows, and broadcasts 24 hours a day with a mix of music, news and information Mildenhall is mentioned in passing in the Pink Floyd song 'Let There Be More Light' on the 1968 album A Saucerful of Secrets as a speculated location for first contact between humanity and extraterrestrial life.
The town has a bus station which was completed in 2005. Regular bus services run to the neighbouring towns of Brandon, Bury St. Edmunds, Newmarket and Thetford. National Express operate daily coach services to Norwich, London (Victoria Coach Station), Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted Airports. Mildenhall railway station was the terminus of the Cambridge to Mildenhall railway until its closure in 1962.
Mildenhall has a Non-League football club [Mildenhall Town F.C.] who play at Recreation Way. It also has one of the region's leading cricket clubs, Mildenhall Cricket Club, playing at Wamil Way. In 2016 the 1XI won the Two Counties Championship and was promoted to the East Anglian Premier Cricket League. Notable players have included England international Tymal Mills, England Lions' Tom Westley and Essex Women's Lilly Reynolds. There is a leisure centre on Bury Road which is about 5–10 minutes away from the town square.
Mildenhall is perhaps most famous for the discovery in 1942 of the Mildenhall Treasure. Now at the British Museum, the treasure is a hoard of Roman silver objects buried in the 4th century. In 1946 the discovery was made public and the treasure acquired by the British Museum; Roald Dahl wrote an article about the find which was published firstly in the Saturday Evening Post, and later as The Mildenhall Treasure (a short story) in his short story collection The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More.

Disgruntled Walker
I have just spent a night at Brendan Chase with four mates and only discovered afterwards that the Hotel Inspector had been there.I am sorry to say that he has gone back to his old ways as shown at the beginning of the episode.The place was grubby.The shared shower and toilet facilities were disgusting.There were a group of american students also there and he was definitely not very welcoming to them.They were somewhat bemused and I had to tell them not to judge British B/B's on this visit.He was not very happy letting them pay by credit cards and he also was sharp at breakfast when they did not appear to follow the correct British etiquette.He was not happy that some of us did not want the full english breakfast as he would be wasting all the meat that he had cooked for it.Having said that the full english breakfast did look good and those who had it did enjoy it.He still bombards everyone with rules.I would liken the place to Faulty Towers without the humour.Come back Alex and see for yourself!
More hilarious reviews of the Brendan Chase:
The Brendan Chase is named after Brendon Chase, a 1940s book and 1980s British tellyvision show about three brothers who run away to the fictional Brendon Forest to fend for themselves for a year.
