Due to conservation works Orford Castle is currently (August 2022) enshrouded in scaffolding.

The unique polygonal tower keep of Orford Castle stands beside the pretty town and former port, developed by Henry II.

The castle is remarkably intact allowing visitors to explore from the basement, through the lower and upper halls to the roof where there are magnificent views seaward to Orford Ness.
