Regarding The Mound:

Where is there a good place to park nearby to walk to it?

Regarding The Mound:

I will be visiting Mildenhall next Wednesday and would also welcome walking directions to the mound.
I have been to Folly Road several times before and wonder if its possible to park the car there and walk to the mound or is it best to park in the village and walk from there?

cheers,
Gerry

Guys - its a good point, I will amend the guide to include these (forgot to originally!)

Im a bit bogged down in exams at the moment, so if one of the regulars could explain, it would be greatly appreciated!

I think I know where you mean - I've noticed some cars pulled up on the grass verge several times and figured that's where Mound dwellers used.

Just wondered if there was a more practical place for Mound parking - the industrial estate perhaps.

Sounds like you hit Mildenhall's version of Poets Day.

[Cyberfox]

Is that 'Nook's Campsite' still open here, if so what's the postcode for satnav please?

Can you go in as a day visitor, not actually pitching a tent or anything? Or anywhere else good/better for photos at Mildenhall?

[BOLLO]

The NOOK is open .

Another very useful guide :- https://www.spotterguide.net/planespott ... -mhz-egun/

No disrespect to Johns Field or The Willows Campsite but I was reminded the other day of the fantastic spotters enclosure at the opposite end of the Runway. Just a shame they closed that after certain events in 2001.

[Pjross]

Why was the viewing area closed in 2001, please?
