Buckland lies on the main Reigate-Dorking Road (A25) at a point where the old main road turned south-west along the ridge of land on which the village sits.

St. Mary's Church is close to the main road and is of the 14th century, rebuilt in 1860 by Henry Woodyer. Some 14th century stained glass is about the finest example of such work in the county.
Buckland - Village Green and pond, 1903
Photographic Survey and Record of Surrey no. 620
The village pond is attractively restored and the green is well kept. From its corners run two quiet, cul-de-sac lanes and the whole scene is in direct contrast to the noise and traffic of the main road, which separates it from the southern half of the village.
This part of the village has a number of larger houses, some of whose gardens have now been built on, served by Buckland Street, the old Reigate Road. The tight nucleus of the settlement, a conservation area, is surrounded by a scattering of farms and open land.
