Mildenhall Warren Lodge

Great little walk mostly on paths with forest on both sides.
Spotted one bench along the 2 mile (3.15km) circular walk.
Free car park for about 8 cars.
About 1/2 mile down the track (counter clockwise) is the restored Warren Lodge.

There had been a rabbit warren at the site since the 1300s, one of over twenty in medieval Breckland where rabbits were farmed in designated areas for their meat and their fur. This warren lodge is one of only two surviving medieval warren lodge buildings in Breckland, the other being Thetford Warren Lodge.

I did not see one rabbit or hare, so I'm guessing they've been eliminated.

If I have one criticism it is the state of the route markers. Several have succumbed to rotting and fallen over and now hidden by vegetation. I'm not sure a hunter green band on an untreated pole is the best choice. Take care and keep to the paths most travelled.

I love the walk around here. Not sure I would visit in the evening though. Suspect characters seem to visit and deposit all sorts of rubbish and waste. Near to recycle centre and people are lazy.

A pleasant flat forest walk just over an hour's drive from East London. The paths are suitable for buggies. The walk is signposted and if you want to shorten it you can cut through in various places, although this would be off path. There was a mixture of trees in this managed forest and some interesting wildlife. We saw a number of deer so you might need to look out for ticks. The area is popular with dog walkers not all of whom clean up but it's exaggerated that you have to watch every step you take. It's not a place for those who like a sit down on a bench. Relatively quiet considering how busy the nearby roads are. Pleasant and nice get away from the city.

Nice place to stop and stretch legs. Path is 2 miles and good underfoot.

Great 2mile loop. Perfect for off-lead dog walks!

Great walk, facts along the way and nice trees…people friendly as they walk by too. Highly recommended

Good place for a walk… a bit close to A11

Nice Dobwalls with lots of routes, and rides for dogs to run
