Great Salkeld is a small village and civil parish in Westmorland and Furness, Cumbria, England, a few miles to the north east of Penrith and bordering the River Eden.

It is a linear village with a fine ensemble of vernacular buildings built in the attractive local red sandstone.

The Norman doorway to the church has similar features to that at St Bees Priory on the Cumbrian coast, with head masks incorporated into the zig-zag pattern.

[4] Great Salkeld Rectory, of medieval origins but modified in 1674 by Thomas Musgrave, also incorporates a pele tower, probably of the early 15th century.

[6] The largest house in the parish is Nunwick Hall, built in 1892 to a design in the Tudor style by Charles John Ferguson.
