A road closure in one of Norfolk's most popular summer destinations is to cause disruption for drivers.

Creake Road just outside Burnham Market is to close for "roadwork patching" later this week.

The closure will send drivers on a 22-mile long diversion adding 35 minutes on to journeys in the area.

The diversion route will take drivers back into Fakenham, to Tattersett before travelling back up to the Burnhams.

The village is a popular spot for holidaygoers from around the country with the roadworks creating the potential for a backlog of summer traffic.

The works will take place on August 8 until August 9 with the closure in force for the full time.
