The small parish of Little Carlton sits in the rural district of East Lindsey in Lincolnshire, England. Perched on the edge of the gentle rolling hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds, it comprises scattered farmsteads and a few clusters of houses surrounded by arable fields and hedgerows, with the market town of Louth nearby for shops and services.
Historically the settlement has agricultural roots stretching back centuries, and the local landscape still reflects that farming focus; the community tends to be small and close-knit, with village life revolving around parish activities and events in neighbouring villages. While there are few amenities within the parish itself, its quiet character, attractive countryside and easy access to nearby market towns make it typical of the quieter rural parts of eastern Lincolnshire.
