Buriton is a small village and civil parish in East Hampshire, Hampshire, England, tucked against the southern scarp of the South Downs. It sits below Butser Hill, one of the highest points on the downs, and is a popular base for walkers on the South Downs Way; the landscape around the village shows long human use, with ancient field systems and an Iron Age hilltop presence on Butser.
The community is characteristically rural, with traditional flint cottages, a village pub and local events that draw neighbours together, while nearby attractions such as Butser Ancient Farm bring visitors interested in archaeology and living history. Economically the village combines agriculture and small local businesses with residents who commute to nearby Petersfield or further afield, and conservation designations help keep the area largely unchanged and popular with walkers and nature-lovers.
