Named cottages, private businesses, and expensive prices denote richer clientel. Known also as Chelsea-on-sea, the area is a popular place for seasonal homes.<\/p>\n<p>To Do: Shopping, boating, musical events, Holkham Estate Tour, Bygone museum, beach. Most of the area&#8217;s attractions are dictated by tourism or summer events.<\/p>\n<p>History: Named for it&#8217;s proximity to the river Burn, the town is a culmination of three smaller villages. It&#8217;s most famous resident is Horatio Nelson.<\/p>\n<p>Shopping: Shops in Burnham Market are all independent merchants with relatively expensive pricing including a butcher, a baker, several independent clothing stores, a vintage shop, cafes, and several art galleries. Most stores boast locally procuded goods and handmade items. The one chain store in the main shopping area, Jack Mills, sold preppy, fairly expensive clothing as well, but targeted a slightly younger consumer.<\/p>\n<p>Image: Ivy creepers, calculatedly careless shop designs (i.e. the inside of the post office),\u00a0and\u00a0hand painted signs\u00a0creating the image of a quaint, old time village. Clerks gave customers individualized attention and boast hand made items to create a more personalized appearance.
