A Norfolk woodland has been named among Britain's best dog-friendly walks.

The Times has put together a list of the best dog walking routes from National Trust sites in destinations across the UK.

The list was inspired by Jen and Sim Benson's new book Great British Walkies - 100 Brilliant Dog Walks Through Beautiful Countryside.

The recommendations included "winding hilltop paths",  "waterfalls" and "gentle woodland strolls".

Claiming one of the top spots for a doggy day out was the bluebell walks in Blickling Great Wood at the Blickling Estate.

Surrounding Blickling’s Jacobean mansion near Aylsham, built in the 1620s, are acres of woodland, parkland and winding country roads, with miles of waymarked walks to explore.

The Blickling to Calthorpe circular trail is a 7½-mile loop that begins at the stately home’s main car park and includes the nearby villages of Erpingham and Calthorpe.

Dogs are also welcome on a short lead in the farmyard and the Muddy Boots café.
