About

Burnham-on-Crouch sits on the north bank of the River Crouch, on the edge of the Dengie peninsula in Maldon District. The town faces a tidal estuary with extensive salt marshes and mudflats that attract wading birds and feeding flocks at low tide. Boats line the river, with moorings, boatyards and a marina that support a long-standing sailing culture. Each August the quaysides and pontoons fill for Burnham Week, when racing fleets use the estuary and spectators gather along the waterfront.

The town centre runs back from the river with a mix of shops, cafes and maritime services clustered near the quay. Burnham-on-Crouch railway station sits on the Crouch Valley Line and links the town to the local rail network. Walking routes follow the foreshore and cross the marshes, joining paths across the Dengie peninsula. Local industry still includes small-scale boat maintenance and fisheries, and the estuary remains the focus for recreation, workboats and birdwatching rather than large-scale development.
