Burston, Buckinghamshire


Burston is a small hamlet near Rowsham in Buckinghamshire about north of Aylesbury. It is in the civil parish of Aston Abbotts.
Originally an Iron Age settlement, it was overlooked by a defensive position on high ground. Modern Burston consists of a few farms, including Burston Hill Farm, Lower Burston, and Burston Ridge Farm, but in the valley below earthworks of the old settlement remain.
Burston Hill, a high point to the north of the Vale of Aylesbury offers views across the vale and the Chiltern Hills.
