Two Norfolk afternoon teas have been named among the nation's best by a national guide.

Lifestyle magazine Muddy Stilettos has released a list of 60 locations serving the best of the traditional British fare and a couple of Norfolk destinations have made the cut.

The first is The Orangery Tea Room at Ketteringham Hall near Norwich.

Overlooking the grounds of the lake and gardens of the historic estate, the terrace dotted with large parasols makes for a great spot to enjoy a pot of tea and a plate of goodies on a sunny afternoon. 

The traditional three-tiered selection costs £32.95 and includes finger sandwiches, sweet treats and freshly baked mini scones.
