Mildenhall Museum sits in Mildenhall High, West Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and tells half a million years of local history across newly developed galleries. You can handle flints and fossils in the pre-history room, see the Lakenheath Warrior with his horse and grave goods, puzzle over the Mildenhall Treasure, and learn about the town's wartime air base in a 1950s community room. It suits anyone curious about local history, families included. The museum is open Tuesday to Thursday and Saturday afternoons, and Friday mornings to afternoon, with a lift and lightweight wheelchair for accessibility. Free council parking is nearby. Kennett station is 4.6 miles away, and there are 15 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays if you fancy making a longer visit of it.
