Dorton is a small, largely rural village in Buckinghamshire, set on the rolling farmland at the edge of the Chilterns and close to the county border with Oxfordshire. It sits roughly between Aylesbury and Thame and has a compact historic core of stone cottages and a parish church that hints at a long local past.
The local economy remains rooted in agriculture but many residents commute to nearby towns or further afield, and the village has a village hall, pub and small community life with occasional events. Its quiet lanes and surrounding countryside make it popular with walkers and cyclists exploring the Aylesbury Vale and the lower slopes of the Chilterns.
