Barton Hartshorn is a very small civil parish in rural Buckinghamshire, England, set in the low-lying agricultural landscape of the Vale of Aylesbury. The settlement is made up of a handful of farms and cottages amid arable fields, hedgerows and small woods, retaining a quiet, pastoral character while lying within commuting distance of Aylesbury, Milton Keynes and Oxford.
Its history stretches back to the medieval period and the village name reflects farming origins, with local life still centred on agriculture and a small, close-knit community rather than shops or services. Visitors and residents value the tranquillity, traditional village buildings and network of country lanes and footpaths that typify the smaller parishes of Buckinghamshire.
