The civil parish and village of Burnham sits in south Buckinghamshire, England, close to the edge of the Thames Valley and neighbouring towns such as Slough and Maidenhead. It has a railway station on the Great Western Main Line, making it a popular commuter base for London, yet retains a semi‑rural feel with a mix of suburban housing and pockets of older village character.
Locally notable are the ancient woodland of Burnham Beeches and nearby Dorney Lake, which give the area strong recreational and wildlife value; culturally the parish blends village clubs, pubs and community events with a largely residential economy supporting commuters alongside local shops and light industry. The result is a place with historic roots and easy access to green space and river‑valley scenery.
