Two beaches in Norfolk have been named among the most beautiful in the UK.

Holkham and Cromer were included in Time Out magazine's ranking of the country's most brilliant coastal destinations.

Holkham sits on the north Norfolk coast and is known for its sweeping dunes and picturesque pinewoods.

The article said Holkham is "easily one of the best-looking beaches in the UK" and that being there feels like being "a million miles away from civilisation".

Cromer was also mentioned and complimented for allowing visitors to "relive their childhoods".

The author added that they were pleased the pier remains "mostly untouched by the usual seaside tourist tat" and recommended seeing a show at the theatre.

"After the show, head to No1 Cromer for the local crab and addictive deep-fried cockle popcorn," they wrote.
