Buckland is a small, mainly rural village in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, England. It sits amid the gentle chalk downland and arable countryside that characterises the vale, and retains a sense of history in its stone cottages, lanes and a historic parish church that hint at medieval origins.
Historically agricultural, the settlement now balances farming with a proportion of commuters and small enterprises, and a quiet community life centred on the village hall and local events. Its setting places it within easy reach of the area’s ancient downland and popular walking routes, making it attractive to walkers and those seeking a rural base not far from larger towns.
