The alternative is to visit the orfordness lighthouse trust website & go on one of their tours of the lighthouse which includes return(of course) trip across by boat walk to lighthouse on same paths as NT ,tour of lighthouse & climb stairs to the top (for the brave) with the fantastic views all for about £3

Was a really good trip over to Orford Ness, Gasa's pictures do sum up the place very well, a strange place with a deserted atmosphere, despite the smattering of people around.
Good to see Gasa & Grumpy again, would certainly do another trip there. I'm glad you were able to negotiate the HD riders without too much trouble. Dave |

http://www.orfordnesslighthouse.co.uk/ We'll have to pull some fingers out if we're going to do it this year the only dates remaining are Sunday 16th sept and Sunday 7th oct. It say's you can't buy tickets in advance and yet also says that the last August date is fully booked... So not sure how that works? Not sure if next year will be an option, having seen the erosion on the seaward side. I think one good tide would have it lying on the beach like a big stripy whale!! The boat is £3.50 and sets sail at 1.30pm. So plenty of time for chips beforehand. (Cue Road Captain Grumpy.. ) If anyone is interested I will mail the trust and try to get a group booking. (for sept 16th.)

I worked for a company that did work on Orford Ness in the 80's - We inspected and maintained the towers - there were 4 in a row if I remember correctly. Ive been in the big windowless building too at some point. The place has a real feel of the cold war about it
