Buckland lies within the Borough of Swale, a district with borough status in Kent, England. The council is based in Sittingbourne, the borough's largest town, which provides the administrative hub for the area. The locality is part of the historic Diocese of Canterbury, a Church of England diocese founded by St Augustine of Canterbury in 597. The diocese is centred on Canterbury Cathedral and is the oldest see of the Church of England. While Buckland itself is a small settlement, its proximity to Sittingbourne and its inclusion in the Swale borough places it within a region that balances rural character with access to larger town amenities. The area is therefore positioned within a well‑established local governance framework and a historically significant ecclesiastical setting.
