The Telegraph has been compiling its top 30 picks for places across the country for an end-of-summer break with Brancaster scooping a place on the list.

The article said: "Holkham tends to hog all the 'best Norfolk beach' limelight. But Brancaster, 10 miles west, is pretty fine too.

In addition to the latest accolade, Brancaster is no stranger to scooping success having made a name for itself with idyllic beaches, thriving fishing communities and some of the freshest seafood in the country.
