The village and parish of Buckland in the Moor sits on the southern edge of Dartmoor within the district of Teignbridge in Devon, England. It is a small, scattered rural community set among granite tors, open moorland and rolling pasture, popular with walkers and those seeking quiet lanes and wide moorland views.
Historically centred on farming, the local economy remains largely agricultural, supplemented by holiday cottages, B&Bs and small-scale tourism linked to the moor. The built scene is one of traditional stone cottages and a compact parish church, and social life tends to be low-key and community-focused, with seasonal events and a steady flow of visitors exploring the surrounding landscape.
