Location - Red Lodge
Red Lodge is a popular civil parish village in rural Suffolk, between Mildenhall and Newmarket and only a stone’s throw from the A11 and A14 roads. The nearest railway station is 2 miles away in Kennet, and buses run to Mildenhall, Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds and other nearby towns and villages.

Though housing was first built in Red Lodge in 1926, the Red Lodge Inn pub dates back to the 17th Century where it was thought to be a former hunting lodge. Today it’s a vibrant and thriving steakhouse and bar, which specialises in exotic meats. There is also the Red Lodge Heath, a site of special scientific interest with a number of nationally rare plants and animals.

Red Lodge enjoys a growing community with many local amenities, including an Ecumenical church, a Primary school, a village hall, and venue known as the Millenium Centre, a sports pavilion with tennis courts, a five-a-side football pitch, and allotments. The new village centre which opened in 2014 benefits from a convenience store, fish and chip shop, kebab shop, pharmacy, and a hairdressers. Red Lodge Karting is reputed to be one of the largest karting tracks in the country, with 2 circuits of 1200m and 700m. Nearby, there are other venues of interest, including Wildtracks which offers archery, motocross and off-roading.
