Burnham-on-CrouchAlthorne

Althorne

CM3 6 / CM9 6

Family-friendly

Althorne is a quiet satellite village strung along the road between Burnham and the Dengie peninsula, with a station on the Southminster line making it a practical option for London commuters on a tighter budget. It's essentially a dormitory village for Burnham or Southminster, with straightforward period housing and no real village centre of its own. Families settle here for the space and affordability without paying the premium of being right in Burnham.
