The word 'boggart' is especially associated with [[Lancashire]]. But distribution maps show that "Boggartdom" (the area in which stories of boggarts are found) extended to northern [[Cheshire]], much of [[Derbyshire]], northern [[Lincolnshire]], the old [[West Riding of Yorkshire]], parts of the [[North Riding of Yorkshire|North Riding]], the fringes of [[Westmorland]], and perhaps [[Nottinghamshire]], and possibly, at one time, as far north as [[Cleveland, Yorkshire|Cleveland]] and as far south as [[Skegness]].<ref>Young, ''Boggart'', 50-70.</ref> In other parts of northern England and the Scottish [[Scottish Lowlands|Lowlands]], alternative 'bog' words were used such as '[[Bogeyman|bogie]]' and '[[bogle]]'.

A variety of geographic locations and architectural landmarks have been named for the boggart. Most famously there is a large [[municipal park]] called [[Boggart Hole Clough]], which is bordered by Moston and [[Blackley]] in [[Manchester]]. "Clough" is a northern dialect word for a steep-sided, wooded valley; a large part of Boggart Hole Clough is made up of these valleys and is said to be inhabited by boggarts.<ref>Harland and Wilkinson, pp. 50-51.</ref> The clough is the setting for many boggart stories, including one of how a local farmer, George Cheetham, and his family were forced to leave their home due to the torment inflicted by a boggart. However, as they were taking their possessions away in a cart, the voice of the boggart was heard issuing from a milk-churn on the cart. Unable to escape the boggart, they returned to their farm.<ref>Waugh, Edwin, (1869) ''Lancashire Sketches'', John Heywood, Manchester. pp.183-185</ref>

There is a Boggart Stones on [[Saddleworth Moor]] where the [[Moors Murderers]], Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, buried the bodies of Pauline Reade and Lesley Ann Downey, children they had abducted, in 1963 and 1964. The children's bodies were buried just below the location, and in sight of, Boggart Stones (OS Map 1864). There is a Boggart Bridge in Burnley, [[Lancashire]]. Tradition says that whoever crosses the bridge must give a living thing to the boggart or forfeit his or her soul. Boggarts Roaring Holes are a group of [[pothole]]s on the [[moorland|moors]] of Newby Moss near [[Clapham, North Yorkshire|Clapham]] in the [[Yorkshire Dales]]. Legend has it that these potholes are the dwelling place of grotesque flesh-eating boggarts whose angry growls have allegedly been heard reverberating from the depths of the dark caverns beneath (hence the name). In the [[Seacroft]] area of [[Leeds]] in [[West Yorkshire]] there is a [[council house|council estate]] named Boggart Hill; Boggart Hill Drive, Boggart Hill Gardens and Boggart Hill were all given the name of the estate area. Boggard Lane, between the villages of [[Oughtibridge]] and [[Worrall]] in South Yorkshire, is generally believed to derive from the term "boggart". There is also a Boggart Lane at [[Skelmanthorpe]].

On [[Puck (moon)|Puck]], a moon of [[Uranus]], there is a crater named Bogle, in deference to the system of [[Planetary nomenclature|nomenclature]] on this satellite, whose features are all named after various mischievous spirits.
