great place mate.

in two parts the RSPB part you can visit - lovely

The nuclear trigger and sneaky beaky part you cant.

The tower is also worth a visit.

The little village and slipway has a cafe and again is very nice

If you time it right RAF Bentwaters have a cold war musuem (not been there yet) that looks good, but check opening days as it is not open all of the time

Its a place I'd like to visit too. There's also a couple of examples of sound mirrors from ww2, they were shown on bbc's coast program.

I'm planning a few days very near there during the school hols this year! Found Tangham Campsite near Rendlesham Forest where I want to mountain bike and have a look round. Looks like a nice place.
