Two afternoon tea spots in Norfolk have been named among the best in the nation.

The lifestyle site Muddy Stilettos has ranked its favourite afternoon tea places with Byfords in Holt and The Orangery Tea Room in Ketteringham making the list.

Byfords in Holt, which is also a B&B, serves afternoon tea daily, with the unlimited version available on the last Sunday of every month between 2pm and 4.30pm.
