The whole site is now run by the National Trust. They have an office on the quay at Orford and they'll book you onto their ferry. It's a very long walk (on shingle!) from the Aldeburgh end, and there are signs saying you must keep to the marked paths as there is unexploded ammo about.Since the photographs here the lighthouse has been demolished and the best bits supposedly saved.When I visited in 2019 the bomb drop camera building was open, with a guide. Also a guide in another building which had photos and diagrams and a cartoon. Even the sheep are organised by the National Trust.The extreme southern end of the peninsula was an airfield in WW1 but I've never heard of anyone visiting there - probably absolutely nothing to see of a tented camp and grass airfield.
