A very wide shot (10mm) of the Milky Way taken last week from a beautiful spot in Suffolk overlooking Orford Ness.

Is this from up on the hill fort near Boyton RSPB?

Yes, Burrow Hill, just above Butley Ferry

Thanks for the reply. Nice spot, I've used top of the RSPB driveway as a dark(ish) site; have been up the hill in daylight but never after dark. It's only 15 minutes from me; I'll possibly give it a go sometime.

It’s a good spot, but it does mean you have more exposure to light from Felixstowe and any boats off the shore, whereas the marsh just to the north towards Butley Low Corner still has a wide view and less direct light pollution.  I couldn’t stop in the marsh this time because of the mozzies down there!   
 

The hill gave a nice view of moonrise and then marsrise.
