Buckland Dinham is a small village and civil parish in Somerset, in south‑west England, sitting on the edge of the Mendip Hills and within easy reach of Frome. It has the compact, stone‑built feel of many Somerset villages, set in rolling agricultural countryside with good access to nearby market towns.
The place name reflects its history - "Buckland" meaning chartered land and the later association with the medieval Dinham family - and the village retains a historic parish church and traditional cottages. The local economy remains largely rural, complemented by commuters who travel to centres such as Bath and Bristol, and a small but active community life of village events and clubs.
