Buck's Cross (often written Bucks Cross) is a small rural hamlet in the Torridge district of Devon, England. It occupies a quiet crossroads set in rolling farmland and hedgerows typical of north Devon, and is more a residential and agricultural cluster than a commercial centre.
The name hints at a historic wayside cross or meeting point and the local economy is still largely agricultural, with some households linked to nearby tourism and services in market towns such as Bideford and Holsworthy. Social life tends to centre on parish activities and the surrounding countryside rather than amenities within the hamlet itself.
