Burnham Market

Vibrancy + character

Burnham Market

Often referred to as ‘Chelsea-on-Sea’, Burnham Market is a pretty and upmarket small market town in Norfolk, England, just a couple of miles from the coast.

Focused around a village green, Burnham Market is a vibrant community of pubs, places to eat and stay, boutiques, and independent shops selling wine, seafood and gourmet food.

Burnham Market is located 32 miles north-west of Norwich and 20 miles north-east of King’s Lynn, close to Holkham Hall, Wells-next-the-Sea and superb sandy beaches.

In 2020 it was rated in the ’20 most beautiful villages in the UK and Ireland’ by Conde Nast Traveler.
