The parish of Boltons lies just to the north of the Lake District National Park, where the Cumbrian hills meet the Solway Plain. The area is very rural, with scattered farms and hamlets, and is bounded to the north west by the A595 Carlisle to Whitehaven road.
Boltons includes the townships of Bolton High and Bolton Low, with a parish church at Boltongate. The parish lies within the Diocese of Carlisle.
The area is predominantly agricultural, with limestone quarrying, lime burning and some coal mining. The nearest market town is Wigton, in the neighbouring parish of the same name, and the nearest village of any size is Caldbeck, just to the south.
