Burnham Thorpe is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in Norfolk, England. Tucked among the cluster of settlements known as the Burnhams and sitting not far from the Norfolk coast and its salt marshes, it retains a picture-book mix of lanes, thatched cottages and farmland, with nearby centres such as Burnham Market and Burnham Overy Staithe providing services and access to the coast.
The village is best known as the birthplace of Admiral Horatio Nelson, born in the rectory in 1758, and that naval association still shapes local identity with memorials in the parish church and a strong sense of history. Traditionally agricultural, the local economy now combines farming with tourism and commuting; community life is quietly centred on the church and village amenities, drawing visitors interested in both coastal Norfolk and its naval past.
