Buckland is a small rural civil parish in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, England. Set in the gentle, chalk-backed lowlands of the vale, the parish is characterised by arable fields, hedgerows and a scattering of historic cottages and farmsteads that reflect its agricultural roots.
Historically the village has medieval origins with a parish church and several listed buildings, and today community life revolves around farming, local events in the village hall and quiet residential living for those who commute to larger towns. The surrounding landscape and network of footpaths make it popular with walkers exploring the broader vale and the downland ridgeways that define this part of the county.
