Buckholt is a very small, rural civil parish in the borough of Test Valley in Hampshire, England. It sits amid rolling downland and mixed farmland with pockets of mature woodland and hedgerow, and lies within the catchment of the chalk streams that characterise the wider valley, giving the area a quiet, green character and a network of footpaths popular with walkers.
The community is sparsely populated and largely agricultural, made up of scattered farmhouses and traditional cottages rather than a defined village centre; local life is shaped by farming, conservation interests and parish meetings rather than shops or services. Historic landscape features such as ancient field patterns and old hedgerows hint at long continuity of land use, while wildlife associated with chalky soils and streams adds ecological interest for residents and visitors alike.
