River Burn , Norfolk The River Burn is a river in the north-west of the English county of Norfolk . The river rises to the south of the village of South Creake and flows through the villages of North Creake , Burnham Thorpe and Burnham Overy before disgorging into the North Sea to the north of Burnham Overy at Burnham Overy Staithe . Between Burnham Overy Staithe and the sea , the river spreads out into multiple tidal creeks through the salt marshes that fringe the coast thereabouts , and finally leaves land behind by passing though the fronting sand dunes at a gap locally known as Burnham Harbour . Small boats can reach Burnham Overy Staithe through this gap and creek .   This Norfolk location article is a stub . You can help Wikipedia by expanding it .
