Wood Farm Barn, Benacre
A beautiful barn at the back of the Benacre Estate near Wrentham, Suffolk. The barn was built in 1840 when it was an agricultural building but it underwent refurbishment in 2002 and is now used for weddings and corporate events.

Great wildlife today with Barnacle Geese, Wigeon, Common Sandpipers, Bearded Reedlings, Meadow Pipits, Buzzard, Redshank, Heron and Egret. This view is from the bank of Tinkers marsh looking up towards Wolsey’s Creek, on the left a Cormorant with wings outstretched.

Orfordness Lighthouse
Today something I have been planning for some time a trip to Orfordness. The lighthouse is no longer used and now perilously close to falling into the North Sea. Orfordness is owned by the National Trust and accessible from Orford Quay by a quick ferry trip across to the other side of the River Alde. It is a truly interesting place as it was used for bomb testing and radar development and for many years was was owned by the MOD and was inaccessible to the public.
