Buckland is a small, predominantly rural parish in the district of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England, lying on the low-lying Severn Vale with open arable and pastureland and long views towards the Cotswolds. The settlement has medieval roots reflected in a compact village core, a historic parish church and a handful of listed buildings and farmsteads; its landscape is shaped by hedgerows, lanes and occasional floodplain near the River Severn.
Nowadays the parish combines traditional farming with a number of residents who commute to nearby towns such as Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury, and local life tends to revolve around the church, a village hall or pub and occasional community events. Its quiet lanes and countryside appeal to walkers and cyclists, while conservation of historic buildings and agricultural land remains important to the social and economic character of the place.
