Burleston is a very small rural civil parish in Dorset, in south-west England. It has a low population and no obvious village centre, consisting largely of scattered farms, cottages and narrow lanes set in the rolling Dorset countryside of fields, hedgerows and small copses.
Historically agricultural, Burleston still bears the imprint of centuries of farming and estate management, with older farmhouses and traditional field patterns visible in the landscape. With few amenities of its own, local social and cultural life is usually linked to nearby villages and market towns, while quiet lanes and public footpaths make the area appealing to walkers and those seeking a peaceful rural setting.
