Here are a couple of links that Robert and Benz sent to us.



Robert Macfarlane's Untrue Island: the voices of Orford Ness 'The
Guardian' 8 July 2012 on
http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2012/jul/08/untrue-island-orford-ness-macfarlane

and for my own take on the place, see 'Favourite Landscape' Concrete
Quarterly Architects Journal 2 June, 2005 see:

It is open on Saturdays by arrangement. The site is normally closed in
winter but 'The site is normally closed during the winter but the
National Trust will allow access to large (12+) pre-booked groups in
this period.'

Visitors to Orford Ness can contact the National Trust for opening
times by telephoning 01394 450057.

Paul, I do not understand your question, in what way is it not a
landscape project?

Info from NT website, begin with
