The first Orford Ness lighthouses, two timber towers, known as the ‘High’ and ‘Low’ lights, were established in 1637. Following constant coastal erosion they were replaced by brick towers in 1720, and in 1792 the present tower, the High light, was built much further from the sea. The Low light was abandoned to the sea in 1887. The current lighthouse itself is now in imminent danger of being washed away.
