The light, particularly in the late afternoon, has a gentle, diffused quality, casting long, softened shadows that lend a quiet dignity to the scene.
This corner of the coast has long been a place of sustenance and quiet habitation, its history woven into the rhythms of farming and fishing. Early settlers found fertile ground here, the rich soil ideal for grazing, a tradition that continues to define Buckland’s economy today.
