Orfordness is a long shingle spit of land, stretching from Aldeburgh to North Wier Point, opposite Shingle Street, a distance of about 10 miles (16Km). It has been formed by currents in the sea, called Longshore Drift.
Orfordness is separated from the mainland by the River Alde and is the largest vegetated shingle spit in Europe. It formerly came under the Administration of the military where radar was developed during WWII and later used by The Atomic Weapons Research Establishment, for component testing. It is now a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
