Bestowed with a rich historical tapestry, Burnham is an intriguing village steeped in the annals of time. Once of notable importance on the Great West Road from London to Bath, Burnham's titled history extends back to its mention in the 1086 Domesday book as 'Burneham.' Today, it serves as a traditional nucleus amid modern development, nearly contiguous with west Slough, yet retaining its independent charm.

The civil parish's heart beats strong with historical resonance, from Saint Peter's Church dating back to the 12th century to the refurbished remains of a Benedictine abbey, which has housed a contemplative order of nuns since 1916. Further adding to Burnham's charm is a High Street graced by 18th and 19th-century buildings housing quaint cafés, pubs and boutique stores.

Excellent transport links, proximity to Pinewood Film & TV Studios, and the surrounding array of nature reserves, film locations and the River Thames, put Burnham on the map for both natural and urban delights. For an English holiday that combines an evocative past with the comforts of the present day, Burnham offers a traditional retreat imbued with timeless character.

When to visit Burnham

Burnham's unique appeal shines throughout the year, so deciding when to visit largely depends on personal preferences. Those seeking the warmth of the English summer should look towards late July, when the village basks in temperatures around 20.6°C. The accompanying high daylight hours offer ample time to explore Burnham's many treasures.

Meanwhile, snowfall transforms the land into a white wonderland in October, which could offer a unique perspective, especially if you're fascinated by winter landscapes. However, for those preferring drier conditions, April and September experience the lowest chances of significant precipitation.

While Burnham hosts visitors throughout the year, tourism peaks in September, following by August and October. Travelling in the off-peak winter seasons may mean quieter explorations — a great option if you seek a serene retreat away from any crowds.
