Greysouthen (/ˈɡreɪsuːn/ GRAY-soon) is a village and civil parish between the towns of Workington and Cockermouth, in Cumbria, North West England, historically part of Cumberland, near the Lake District National Park.

[5] The largest portion of Greysouthen's Coal lease was sold to William Walker & Company in 1787.

[6] The Melgramfitz pit was closed in 1886, which led to the end of the Greysouthen as a coal mining community.

[2] Greysouthen's 19th century miners were known for their ale consumption, which magistrates felt was their prime concern.

[citation needed] St Josephs Roman Catholic Church is approximately 3 miles (5 km) from the centre of the village.

Greysouthen has one large playing field with an adventure playground, football pitch, and a garden commemorating the Queen's Silver Jubilee.

[citation needed] Greysouthen had previously received a bus service, which stopped about ten times daily with connections to Workington and Cockermouth.

The parish council has been supporting Cumbrian rural communities over the introduction of superfast broadband and mobile coverage.
