From towns and villages sat on the vast picturesque coast, to a seaside town famous across the country - here is what you answered when we asked you for the best places to live in Norfolk.

1. The north Norfolk coast

Whether you choose the larger towns of Cromer, Sheringham and Wells or the quieter villages of Brancaster Cley, and Weybourne, the coast caters to everyone.

Although situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty, houses are in demand, with average prices some of the highest across Norfolk.

Certain villages, such as Burnham Market, are also in a battle with second homeowners as holiday lets make up an ever-increasing percentage of the village. 

2. Great Yarmouth

The east coast destination has a vast sandy coastline, with various entertainment lining Marine Parade.

Although some positivity, many comments were quick to jibe at the town's expense.

3. Reepham

The quaint and idyllic 18th-century market town of Reepham was also given your seal of approval.

Sitting in the north Norfolk countryside between the Wensum and Bure Valleys, the town is a haven for explorers with a selection of local walking routes such as the former railway line Marriott's Way.

The town also has some of the county's best independent and artisan businesses whether it's grabbing a pastry at Bread Source in The Dial House or a roast dinner at The Station Café.

4. Unthank Road, Norwich

Just a short walk from the city centre but with a vibrant buzz of its own, the road has become an in-demand neighbourhood for many.

With its pubs, cafes, restaurants and butchers, the area has everything you may need, however, a lack of parking causes a gripe for many who live there.

5. On a boat exploring the Broads

A final commenter believed the best place to call home in Nelson's County was on the Broads.

The river system spanning from Norwich to Great Yarmouth and into north Norfolk, is a firm favourite for a trip.

With plenty of places to moor up, anyone choosing to make the water their home may hop between the hubs of Wroxham and Hoveton or the quieter villages of Horning or Bramerton.

With the River Yare weaving all the way to Norwich, you may even choose the busier Thorpe St Andrew or Acle to settle in.
