Largest of the Burnham villages, Burnham Market has grown from the merger of the three of the original Burnham villages, Burnham Sutton, Burnham Ulph and Burnham Westgate.
Burnham Overy is made up of two settlements, Burnham Overy Town the original village adjacent to the parish church and Burnham Overy Staithe, a rather larger settlement about 1 mile away and next to the creek-side harbour.
Around ½ mile inland from Burnham Market, the village of Burnham Thorpe is the birthplace of Horatio Nelson. His father, Edmund Nelson, moved to Burnham Thorpe in 1755, after his marriage.
Burnham Deepdale is in the parish of Brancaster, together with Brancaster Staithe and Brancaster itself. The three villages form a more or less continuous settlement along the coast road adjacent to beautiful coastal marshes and beaches.
