Boustead Hill is a hamlet in northern Cumberland, on the marshes beside the estuary of the River Eden as it opens into the Solway Firth.
The hamlet is a mile and a half west of Burgh by Sands and immediately south of the line of Hadrian's Wall (of which little if any trace remains here) and of the Hadrian's Wall Path. The land in the midst of the village is only thirty feet above sea level, rendering the 'Hill' part of its name somewhat relative.
Two separate equestrian centres operate for Boustead Hill.
