A Suffolk village has been named as one of the "most beautiful" in the UK by a popular luxury travel magazine.
Situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the historic town of Orford was listed by Conde Nast Traveller.
Described as mesmerising, the coastal village received high praise from the travel magazine who picked out The Crown and Castle as a place to stay when visiting the village.
The magazine said: "There is something mesmerising about this coastal village, with its 10-mile-long shingle spit of Orford Ness – where a lighthouse sits – and its castle that’s worthy of a storybook.
"Tucked away on the Market Square is the no-frills Butley Orford Oysterage, where half a dozen plump oysters should kick-start any lunch and seasonal specials, such as potted brown shrimp or grilled lobster, are scribbled on a chalkboard.
"At the Pinney’s of Orford shop, down by the quay, stock up on its own smoked fish or that day’s catches."
There are plenty of places to stay, eat and enjoy in the small, but charming coastal village.
