Mildenhall 2013

We wanted to try out our new caravan and decided that a few days at the Mildenhall Caravan Club Site would be a good place to visit. We set off on the 17th May and returned on 22nd May. The cost per night at the Mildenhall site is £11. Whilst we were away we visited the Bressingham Steam Museum (where they were having a 'Dad's Army day' ) and the city of Eley. I'll put up separate blogs to cover our visits to these two place. In the mean time if you would like to see the photo's that we took on this trip they can all be seen by clicking here

This is our new Bailey Caravan at the Mildenhall site. The site is, in our opinion, a lovely place with the pitches set amongst the tall pine trees. Some people might find the aircraft noise irritating but it stops over night and we find the glimpses of the planes through the trees exciting. It's a short ride to excellent viewing places for the airfields at both Mildenhall and Lakenheath. Mildenhall mostly has heavy cargo planes and Lakenheath has jet fighters. As usual we found time to visit the Hungry Horse pub and had a couple of meals there. The Hungry Horse chain pubs can be found all over the place but we have found that the Mildenhall one is head and shoulders above the others, perhaps because the vast majority of it's customers are Americans from the airbase and they may demand a high standard. Anyway we are always pleased to eat at this establishment. I'll shortly be adding news of Bressingham and the city of Eley.
