Hikers traversing the north Norfolk coast may well need a pit-stop or two to refuel.
Thankfully, there are a number of walks to explore that can include a spot of fish and chips to boost morale.
Here are five walks along the north Norfolk coast where you can enjoy the British staple along the way.
1. Thornham circular walk

This walk around Thornham and marshland passes Eric's Fish and Chips - which was recently named one of the best chip shops in the country.
You can start the walk near Eric's and enjoy its fried treats at the end or you can park on the other side of the route so the chippy is halfway through.
The route, around three miles, takes you through the village and the old harbour.

The nature reserve has three trails that can be followed around the coastal area.
