Walton on the Wolds is a village and civil parish in the Charnwood district of Leicestershire, England. ^[1] In the United Kingdom Census 2011 the parish had a population of 288. ^[2] It is near to Burton on the Wolds and Barrow upon Soar. It was the location of one series of Boon , starring Michael Elphick and Neil Morrissey. The series used the Tudor house, Kings Cote, as Boon's house.

The name Walton is derived from the settlement or farmstead of Wealas - native Celts, which is what the new Anglo Saxon speaking peoples called the native inhabitants of England.

The village has an Anglican church called St Mary's.
