Buckhorn Weston is a small village and civil parish in Dorset, England, tucked into the county's rural north. It sits among rolling farmland and hedgerows; the settlement comprises traditional stone and brick cottages, a parish church and a few community buildings, with residents using nearby market towns for a wider range of services.
With origins stretching back into the medieval period, the village still has a quietly agricultural character - farming remains important though many people commute further afield. Community life is typical of a Dorset village, with seasonal events, local clubs and quiet lanes that appeal to walkers and anyone looking for a tranquil rural atmosphere.
