Highton is a populated place situated along the border of Buckingham and Solebury townships in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States. ^[2]

Geography

The small settlement is located along Street Road (which runs along the township line) at its intersection with Ridge Road. As the latter road's name implies, it is located along a ridge (at an estimated elevation of 220 feet (67 m) above sea level ^[1] ) between Pidcock Creek and Curls Run, approximately three and a half miles (5.6 km) southeast of New Hope.

There are a few houses located around the settlement; the remainder consists of farms and properties containing large houses over rolling terrain. ^[3]
