A walking route in Norfolk packed with history and nature has been named among the best in the country during autumn.
The circular walk from Holkham has featured in list of the best walks to go on in November by writers at The Times.
The route's highlights include heading through the grounds of the Holkham Estate which gives ramblers a view of the ice house, walled gardens and the Obelisk.
It also gives walkers a chance to see Scolt Head Island and All Saints Church in Burnham Thorpe, where Horatio Nelson's father was the pastor.
The walk then passes through Burnham Overy Staithe before heading through the marshes where plenty of Norfolk's wildlife can be spotted including seals.
"Vast numbers of birds with a fascinating array of beaks gathered around shallow pools," the author wrote.
"We counted over a hundred black-tailed godwits, plus oystercatchers, avocets, spoonbills, curlews and turnstones."
This route then finishes on Holkham's wide sandy beach with the writer recommending the Victoria Hotel in the village as a place to eat and stay.
