Welcome to Ness-Point.co.uk, the official Ness Point Website. Ness Point is the most easterly point in the United Kingdom and is located in the historic and cultural town of Lowestoft in Suffolk.
These are very exciting times for both Lowestoft and Ness Point, as Suffolk County Council and Waveney District Council aim to make Lowestoft one of the leading areas in the UK for the renewable energy industry. This renewable energy boom started with the completion and installation of the UK’s Largest Wind Turbine, known locally as Gulliver, in 2005, and Lowestoft became home to the wonderfully designed and constructed OrbisEnergy Centre, home to a variety of businesses involved in the renewable energy sector. This sleek, contemporary building is situated right next to Ness Point and will help to further bolster Lowestoft’s renewable energy industry.
The local council has come under scrutiny over recent years for its perceived lack of tourist development at Ness Point and it is no surprise that many visitors often feel disappointed when they come to see Ness Point. Currently all there is for a tourist to see apart from the wonderful sea views is the Euroscope {pictured above] which some people have called a ‘thing on the floor’.
