Those planning on a Norfolk holiday might want to visit Holkham beach after David Cameron declared he loves the coastal spot.

In a recent speech on tourism, the prime minister said he adores going on holiday in Britain and we should be proud of what our country has to offer.

Holkham beach is one of his favourite haunts, he continued, where he went swimming one April.

Mr Cameron expressed his affection for the seaside towns, historic monuments, castles and country houses around the country.

In addition to Norfolk, he has also holidayed in Snowdonia, South Devon, the Lake District and the Highlands of Scotland, the prime minister added.

And those heading to Norfolk this year might wish to visit Holkham, which won a Coast Magazine Award for the Best British Beach 2010 for the second year in a row.

Clare Gogerty, editor of Coast, said: "Holkham really is a one-off. The feeling of solitude you get on those endless sands and in the surrounding pinewoods makes for a truly uplifting seaside experience."
