Sheringham was included in the round-up, which was published by The Sun newspaper.

Travel writer Jenna Stevens said the north Norfolk destination is "a hit with families", and that it is "clear to see why".

“Entire days can easily be spent on golden stretches of sand backed by beach huts, with bucket and spade in hand," she said.

“But it’s worth pulling yourself away from the shores for a ride on the heritage steam railway, where the pretty Poppy Line runs from Sheringham to Holt.

“Plus theatre fans will love a visit to Sheringham Little Theatre, where family-friendly productions, quiz and bingo nights fill the historic theatre with a lively buzz.

“Stroll along to Stevenson’s Fish and Chips to grab a takeaway tea and catch the sunset, and you’ve done a visit to this seaside town right."

The other spots on the list were Fowey in Cornwall, Witney in the Cotswolds, Chester in Cheshire, Weston-Super-Mare in North Somerset and Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire.

It comes shortly after the organisation hailed Old Hunstanton as one of the UK's best beaches.
