The village and civil parish of Bolton-by-Bowland sits on the eastern edge of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, within the Ribble Valley district of Lancashire, England. It occupies a quiet upland landscape of rolling pastures, drystone walls and narrow lanes, with open views towards the Bowland fells that make it popular with walkers and cyclists.
Historically a small farming community, the area still centres on hill farming and a modest rural economy supplemented by tourism; traditional stone cottages and a village church reflect its heritage. The settlement retains a close‑knit, village feel with local events and community life rather than any large commercial centre.
