Description
Historically Burnham Overy was the port for the surrounding villages of the Burnhams. Both settlements lie on the River Burn, and until the end of the Middle Ages trading ships were able to reach the village, with the silting up of the river and the coming of the railways commercial shipping declined and the last cargo is believed to have been shipped soon after the end of the First World War. Horatio Admiral Lord Nelson was born nearby and it is widely accepted that he learned to sail here at the age of 10 until he joined the Navy 2 years later. Today this is leisure port enjoyed by many who love messing about in small boats!
