Buckland is a village and civil parish in the Mole Valley district of Surrey, England, between Dorking and Reigate, its nearest towns.

The south of the civil parish, which includes the village centre, is on the strata of the Lower Greensand Group.

[2]: 76, 179  The Gault clay forms a 0.5 mi-wide (0.80 km) band, running from east to west, to the north of the village centre.

[11] Some of the timbers removed during Woodyer's work, may have been reused in the construction of Buckland Windmill, also Grade II listed, and now a tourist focal point.

[11] Buckland War Memorial, on the village green, was erected in 1920 and was unveiled in July of that year by Percival Marling VC.

Designed by Ebbutt and Sons of Croydon, it is constructed in rough Cornish granite in the form of a wheel-head cross.

Local legend says the brook was the home of a monstrous horse (in some versions a gorilla), called the "Buckland Shag".

This beast would drag travellers from the nearby coaching road and devour them on the Shag Stone, a large boulder in the brook with a blood red vein of iron ore running through it.

The nearest railway station is Betchworth on the North Downs Line, 1 mile (1.6 km) WNW of the village centre.
