Situation The Burnhams are a small group of villages clustered around the River Burn which, around the 6 th and 7 th century, was easily navigable all the way up to Burnham Overy Town. The River Burn is a 10 mile long chalk stream running from South Creak e out to the saltmarshes at Burnham Overy Staithe, also affectionately known as “Nelson’s River”. It is widely believed that Nelson learned to sail at Burnham Overy Staithe aged 10 whilst Richard Woodget, captain of the Cutty Sark, bought a farm and retir ed to the village until his death in 1926, giving this stretch of coast an enviable naval heritage. Today, the village is better known as a popular recreational sailing centre with its own sailing club, public house/restaurant, chandlers, village hall and childrens’ play area.

This location indisputably lives up to its status as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Between Burnham Overy Staithe and the sea, the river spreads out into a tapestry of tidal creeks that flow through saltmarshes and final ly out to sea between a gap in the sand dunes known as Burnham Harbour. The beach is a good mile’s walk from the village and, therefore, totally unspoilt and peaceful with vast expanses of golden sands and big, open blue skies .

A ferry service from the village takes you to (tides and weather permitting) which is run by English Nature where you can while away a few hours picnicking, relaxing and enjoying the vast array of flora and fauna on this idyllic offshore 4 mile long barrier island.
