Bootle is a small coastal village and civil parish in the historic county of Cumberland, now administered as part of Cumbria. Sitting on the Cumbrian coast with the Irish Sea to the west and the western fells of the Lake District rising inland, it offers a pleasing mix of seaside and upland scenery.

Traditionally a farming and small fishing community, Bootle today leans on agriculture, local services and visitors who come for walking, bird‑watching and quiet coastal drives; the village still has stone-built houses, a parish church and a pub, with a strong local community that stages regular events. Its modest size and location make it a handy base for exploring the quieter parts of the Cumbrian coast and neighbouring fell country.
