A stretch of north Norfolk has been named one of the best places in the country to go for a walk this spring. 

In a list compiled by the Press Association (PA), a section of the England Coast Path in Norfolk was named among the "best British walks and hikes to put a spring in your step".  

The Norfolk section of the soon-to-be-completed, 2,800-mile-long, England Coast Path is made up of two legs - Hopton on Sea to Sea Palling and Sea Palling to Weybourne.

The 21-mile Hopton stretch offers a contrast of shady trees, dunes and beaches, with the Sea Palling to Weybourne route passing through Cromer. 

Sarah Marshall, who works for PA, wrote: "Highlights include the spectacle of wading birds congregating on the mudflats of Snettisham and Holkham Hall with its collection of paintings by Gainsborough and Van Dyck."

Other walks recommended on the list included Dunwich Heath in Suffolk, Dartmoor in Devon and Ullswater in the Lake District.
