Dorton is a small, rural village and civil parish in Buckinghamshire, sitting a few miles south of Aylesbury and close to the border with Oxfordshire. It occupies gently rolling countryside on the edge of the Chilterns and is surrounded by farmland and footpaths, making it a quiet base for country walks and views across the downland.
The settlement retains a historic core with a medieval parish church and a number of listed cottages and farm buildings, reflecting a long agricultural past that has gradually adapted to modern life; many residents now commute to nearby towns. Social life centres on village institutions such as the hall and local pub, with occasional community events and a closely knit feel typical of small Buckinghamshire villages.
