TODAY we wanted to look at a small Cumbrian village on the outskirts of Carlisle.
Great Corby lies on the River Eden, and directly across the river is the town of Wetheral.
The two villages are linked by a railway viaduct, this is on the Tyne Valley Line from Newcastle to Carlisle, which passes to the north of the village.
The village pub/restaurant, the Queen Inn, is next to the upper village green in the heart of the village.
There is no church, the village forming part of Wetheral parish. The village's Methodist chapel closed in the mid 80's, and the building is now a private house.
These photos show the Brampton Junior golf team with a player from Great Corby, people partaking in the Scarecrow Festival, and fashion knitwear designer Rosella May.
