Greystoke is an attractive village west of Penrith, with a broad green, stone cottages and historic links to the nearby Greystoke Castle estate.

The village has the settled, traditional appearance of an Eden community, centred on its green and church. Its castle heritage adds interest, although access to the estate and events should always be checked in advance.
