More about this scene
Henry II's great 12th century keep stands sentinel over Orford, built to guard the coast where Flemish mercenaries were brought ashore by the Earl of Norfolk, whose castles far out-numbered royal castles in East Anglia. Across the river from Orford are some of the defence installations built on Orford Ness during the First World War. During the Second World War, Orford Ness was used by the scientist Robert Watson-Watt to develop radar.
