Carrington is a small rural civil parish in the district of East Lindsey in Lincolnshire, England, set amid the rolling chalk hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds. The landscape is typical of the Wolds - undulating farmland, hedgerows and scattered stone cottages - and it lies within easy reach of market towns such as Louth, which provide shops and services.

Historically agricultural, the parish retains a low population and a tight-knit community, with farms and historic farmsteads still shaping local life; nowadays many residents commute to nearby centres while walkers and country visitors come for the quiet scenery. Built heritage is modest but characteristic, with traditional buildings and lanes reflecting the area’s long rural history and sense of place.
