About Burnham Overy Staithe

Burnham Overy Staithe, a Norfolk haven, breathes the salty air of its tidal creek. It lies 7.1 km west of Wells-next-the-Sea (from Wells-next-the-Sea: bearing 276°T, OS grid TF 845 439), and is situated north-north-east of Burnham Overy Town village. Here, the landscape unfolds with a quiet dignity, where salt marshes stretch towards the horizon under a sky that often shifts from pearly grey to an astonishing, luminous blue. The modest harbour, once a hub for coastal trade and the export of local marl and grain, now serves as a launching point for pleasure craft, its waters reflecting the passing clouds. The very air seems to carry the faint scent of brine and marsh samphire, a testament to its enduring connection with the sea. Burnham Overy Staithe itself, a cluster of dwellings and boat sheds, possesses a certain understated charm, its stone and brick weathered by the persistent Norfolk winds.
