The Norfolk Broads has been named among the best landscapes in the UK. 

Time Out has hailed the Broads as one of the most beautiful national parks in the country.

It said: "Eastern England’s national park is often compared to Venice - not because you’ll find marble palaces and gelato here, but because it has more miles of waterway.

"There are two ways to navigate its maze of rivers, broads, golden marshes, whispering reed beds and tangled woodland: you can take to the water or walk its footpaths.

"This tranquil wetland is a haven for birds and bird-spotters."
