This is another very beautiful place. We visited twice. The first morning it was cold & blowy but people were still catching bucketfulls of crabs on from the quayside. We walked along the quay and then took a path towards the castle up through the town where we found the smokehouse. They smoke just about everything here. We bought fish, cheese and a ham hock which had been soaked in cider & honey then smoked, yummy. There are some lovely pubs here and all the food looks very good but although we sampled the beers & ciders we did not eat in Orford this trip!
You can catch a ferry accros to the spit where there is a wildlife reserve and it is also famous as a world war 2 testing site for bombs!
Just walking around the village takes quite a while as it is full of pretty cottages, there is the castle to explore a lovely church and of course the many pubs.
In the car park we happened across some sweet Wren fledlings just hoping about in one of the bushes and a Whitethroat was singing on top of a tree.
