Boarstall is a small, rural village and civil parish in Buckinghamshire, England, tucked into agricultural countryside with remnants of the old Bernwood royal hunting forest nearby. Its chief attraction is Boarstall Tower, a moated, fortified manor house on a medieval motte, famous locally for a legendary horn and for changing hands during the English Civil War.
The settlement is tiny and largely agricultural, with scattered cottages and lanes rather than a high street; its economy is therefore quiet and rural, but it draws walkers and history enthusiasts keen to see the tower, the moated site and the tranquil English countryside that surrounds it. Community life revolves around nearby villages and occasional open days at the historic house.
