BURNHAM OVERY STAITHE is arguably the most sought-after of all the North Norfolk villages; a small village fringed by marshes, the Staithe is a popular spot for sailing with its natural harbour lying at the mouth of the River Burn whilst at low tide the channel is a fabulous place for paddling, crabbing and having fun in the water. Understandably, The Sunday Times listed Burnham Overy Staithe as one of its top ten villages by the sea in which to live.

The village lies on the North Norfolk coast, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, famed for mile upon mile of sandy beaches and never-ending skylines.

Just a mile inland is Burnham Market; a large, thriving village with handsome, principally Georgian, properties set around a grassy market place (also known as The Green). Burnham Market offers a varied selection of traditional shops and hostelries with barely a high street chain in sight.

There are links golf courses at Brancaster (The Royal West Norfolk) and Old Hunstanton, as well as jump racing at Fakenham and several well-regarded shoots in the area. There is a mainline railway connection to London King’s Cross in 97 minutes from the Hanseatic port and medieval market town of King’s Lynn (24 miles to the south west).
