Burnham Market is a picturesque village in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, county Norfolk, England, set just inland from the North Norfolk coast among the small villages known as The Burnhams. The centre is dominated by a handsome Georgian and Regency square and honey‑coloured cottages, and the surrounding landscape of salt marshes and wide beaches at Holkham Beach and Brancaster gives the area dramatic coastal scenery and rich wildlife interest.
Once a traditional market town, Burnham Market now blends antiques shops, independent boutiques, galleries and quality eateries with a tourism‑led economy of holiday cottages and weekend visitors, while a steady local community sustains regular markets and seasonal events. The village also sits close to Burnham Thorpe, the birthplace of Admiral Horatio Nelson, so it combines local history, coastal recreation and a lively small‑town cultural scene.
