Starting in the market town of Mildenhall with shops, parking and facilities, the riverside walk will quickly take you away from the hustle and bustle and along a peaceful section of the Lark Valley Path. Following the gentle flow of the River Lark as it winds past alder and poplar trees, you will spot manicured lawns and sweeping willows that dip into the water. Adjoining the path is the Jubilee Fields, a 19-acre open space that serves as a central hub for community events and outdoor activities.

Walking is the heart of the experience here, with riverside paths that invite slow exploration and quiet moments of wildlife spotting. The terrain is mostly well‑surfaced with a few narrow or muddy stretches, making it ideal for a relaxed stroll. Keep your eyes open for deer moving through the trees, the electric‑blue flash of a kingfisher or even the shy ripple of an otter. Whether you’re enjoying birdsong, taking photos of the picturesque willow‑lined banks or simply unwinding beside the water, Mildenhall Riverside offers a refreshing and restorative walk for all ages.
