A running route at a stately home in Norfolk has been named one of the UK's most scenic.

Experts at Go Outdoors compiled a list of the 10 prettiest routes based on data from Instagram and the fitness app, Strava.

The four-mile trail around Blickling Hall came in eighth place after more than 160 people shared snaps of its views on social media. 

The path is named Hall Lane-John Water on Strava, which estimates it to be of a "moderate" difficulty level based on its elevation, gradient and terrain.

Those who do not use the app could join The National Trust's free monthly 10km runs instead.

The "Trust10" events are held at Blickling on the fourth Sunday of every month, except in August and December, starting at 9.30am. 

The 10km route is made up of a series of loops along the site's multi-use paths.

There is no pressure for anyone to complete the full 10km and the cafe is open to serve coffee and cake to participants afterwards.

A weekly 5km Parkrun also takes place on Saturday mornings at 9am.
