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

The village is believed to have been connected at one time by a bridge over the River Eden to Little Salkeld. In the Middle Ages, the village was sometimes referred to in documents as Salkeld Regis as it was at times the property of the Crown.

The village's amenities are few and include a pub, The Highland Drove, which has won awards for its food, and an Anglican church. The primary school has recently closed despite a rigorous campaign to save it.

St. Cuthbert's church was built in the twelfth century, and is remarkable for the pele tower which was added to it in the fourteenth century. Great Salkeld Rectory also incorporates a pele tower, probably of the early 15th century.[1]

The parish of Great Salkeld includes the hamlets of Salkeld Dykes, which is divided into North and South Dykes, Halfwaywell, Inglewood Bank and Burrell Green.

The largest house in the parish is Nunwick Hall which gives its name to the local cricket team.
