Cucklington lies between Wincanton and Gillingham, on the edge of the ridge overlooking the Blackmore Vale on the Somerset/Dorset border. The village itself has a church and a village hall, an excellent public house nearby in Buckhorn Weston.

The nearby towns of Gillingham and Wincanton both have a range of excellent everyday amenities, including a Waitrose and a mainline railway station at Gillingham with direct access to London Waterloo.

For more sophisticated amenities the abbey town of Sherborne is to the west and the regional town of Yeovil beyond.

There are excellent road links with the A30 close by and the A303 lying some 2 miles to the north giving access to the South West and London via the M3.

The area is renowned for its schools, both in the public and private sector. These include Bruton School for Girls, Kings School, Sexeys School and Sunny Hill prep. Other private schools include Sherborne Boys, Sherborne Girls, Bryanston, Milton Abbey, Leweston and Millfield. Prep schools include Hazelgrove at Sparkford and Sherborne Prep.
