Connect Mildenhall with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Mildenhall to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Mildenhall’s Slow Ways.

It goes through a golf course, which is pretty, but a little unnerving. Past the golf course, though, it's a nice, quiet trail. Coming into Mildenhall, it's necessary to cross the dual carriageway....

If you must make this journey, I would recommend MilBur Three instead, as it cuts out one section of overgrown path. - Lackford Lakes to Culford is partly fine, but there are sections where the signage (and path) disappears, a section that's falling into the river and gets very slippery when wet, and sections overgrown with nettles for half the year. After leaving the main road in Culford, you use a narrow, often overgrown footpath to get to a short section on a busy road. Once you leave the golf course you're on a narrow path between trees and river, which has a tendency to become overgrown with nettles....

- The path at Icklingham through to Lackford Lakes is not clearly marked, so you will need a map or good memory to get through here. - Lackford Lakes to Risby is fine. - Westley to Bury is fine - a well made, well used path next to school playing fields, then pavements the rest of the way....

- A11 to Icklingham is totally overgrown and underused. - Lackford Lakes to Culford is partly fine, but there are sections where the signage (and path) disappears, a section that's falling into the river and gets very slippery when wet, and sections overgrown with nettles for half the year. Mostly clear and well used, although there's a short stretch on a busy road. Once you leave the golf course you're on a narrow path between trees and river, which has a tendency to become overgrown with nettles....

- Chippenham to the Elms Road crossing was all minor country roads. - Elms Road crossing to Worlington is a well used footpath. At the end of the path is a fairly busy road to get into the centre of Worlington, the first short stretch has no pavement, but there's a decent grass verge....

Daisy C added Newmil two, a new walk from Newmarket to Mildenhall
Walk this routeIt's possible to get refreshments and use the toilet at Jude's Ferry in West Row (if you walk by during opening hours), in Isleham at the Co-op if you walk into the village, and Prickwillow if your walk lines up with the opening times at the Engine Museum....

You also have to cross a double-carriage way between Tuddenham and Barton Mills. There is no pedestrian bridge. I do not recommend this route due to safety concerns....
