From an 18th-century lighthouse to colourful beach huts - the villages of Norfolk are a must-visit for any budding photographer. 

Here are seven of the most Instagrammable villages in Norfolk that are sure to be filled with perfect picture opportunities. 

1. Wroxham

Thought of as the capital of the Norfolk Broads, Wroxham offers plenty of opportunities to grab a snap next to its sparkling waters.

Visitors can also take a quick trip to Hickling Broad, where you can spot wildlife and bask in the tranquillity of this part of the county. 

At Wroxham Barns, you can get up close with its animals and bottle-feed the newborn calves. 

2. Holkham

Holkham Beach's clear white sands helped it win the region's best beach accolade - and also make it one of the county's most picturesque backdrops.

The beach was the location for the final shot of the film Shakespeare in Love, with Gwyneth Paltrow seen walking along its shoreline.

Ryan Reynolds was also spotted on the beach earlier this month filming scenes for Marvel's Deadpool 3.

3. Blakeney

The quaint cobbled streets of Blakeney make it one of the most beautiful villages in the UK.

The area is popular with locals and tourists alike and is often seen as one of the best places to spot wildlife in the county.

Another highlight of the village is its quayside, a prime spot for crabbing and gives you the chance to get a picture in front of the harbour's clear waters.

4. Walsingham

If you're searching for a jaw-dropping picture background - look no further than Walsingham Abbey.

The attraction brings visitors to the village throughout the year and in February, Walsingham is one of the best places to see snowdrops in Norfolk.

It has a long history of religious pilgrimage, dating back to the 11th century, and many people still visit the shrine of Lady Catherine.

5. Happisburgh

Eastern Daily Press:

Happisburgh's famous red and white striped lighthouse was built in 1790 and has drawn crowds to the quiet coastal village ever since.

There is also a peaceful and secluded sandy beach, perfect for getting some coastal pics without being distracted by tourists.

You can take a trip to St Mary's Church, which dates back to the 15th century, and if you climb up its 133 steps you can see spectacular views of the north Norfolk countryside.

6. Mundesley

For a vibrant picture, Mundesley has a vast line of colourful beach huts which bring a warm feeling to the coastal village all year round.

It is also home to one of Britain's best beer gardens at The Ship Inn.

The pub's outdoor seating area overlooks the sea and boasts panoramic views of Mundesley Beach's golden sands.

7. Cley next-the-Sea

This Norfolk village can be found between Blakeney and Holt.

It is home to the 18th-century Cley windmill which is now a B&B.

Cley Marshes is also worth a visit - the site is owned by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust and has six hides making it a haven for birdwatchers.
