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: http://www.architectsjournal.co.uk/home/favourite-landscape/133734.article 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.' on http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/ourwork/conservation/designations/nnr/1006116.aspx. 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 http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/orford-ness/ which is a good introduction.
