Motorists in Norfolk are struggling to get around as many major roads and highways have been left virtually underwater following a night of heavy rainfall. 

The downpours have severely impacted the A47 west of Norwich, with large parts of the road impassable due to being under several feet of water. 

The A140 in Long Stratton is also flooded, as well as the A146 between Loddon and Hales.

In Caistor Lane, between Caistor St Edmund and Framlingham Earl, part of the high verge has slid away, causing a "landslide".

Police have warned motorists not to head out on the roads "unless absolutely necessary", saying the continual heavy rain has left the road network extremely poor and flooded.

It follows an earlier yellow weather warning issued by the Met Office which warned of rain and floodwater causing travel disruption across the county.
