Welcome to Burnham Thorpe

Burnham Thorpe is a small village located in the county of Norfolk, England. It is situated approximately 2 miles from the coast and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is perhaps best known for being the birthplace of Admiral Lord Nelson, one of Britain's most famous naval heroes. Visitors to Burnham Thorpe can explore the Nelson family home, which has been converted into a museum, and learn about the life and times of this remarkable man.

Despite its small size, Burnham Thorpe has a rich history and a number of interesting landmarks. The village church, St. Margaret's, dates back to the 13th century and is a beautiful example of medieval architecture. The churchyard contains the graves of several members of the Nelson family, including the Admiral's father. Another notable feature of the village is the Burnham Thorpe Windmill, which was built in the early 19th century and is still in working order. Visitors can climb to the top of the windmill and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

In addition to its historical and cultural attractions, Burnham Thorpe is also a great place to enjoy the great outdoors. The village is surrounded by miles of footpaths and bridleways, making it an ideal destination for walkers, cyclists, and horse riders. The nearby coast offers a range of activities, including sailing, windsurfing, and fishing. Whether you're interested in history, nature, or outdoor pursuits, Burnham Thorpe has something to offer everyone.
