Crosby in the historic county of Cumberland (now part of Cumbria) is a small rural village a few miles east of Carlisle, sitting on the low-lying edges of the Eden floodplain. The surrounding landscape is typical of north‑west England: rolling farmland, hedgerows and wide views across the Eden Valley, with easy access for walkers to the Roman and upland scenery of Hadrian's Wall country.
Locally the economy and social life have a strong agricultural bent, with many people commuting to nearby towns for work; the village also carries a quiet wartime legacy in the nearby airfield at Crosby-on-Eden. Community life tends to centre on a village hall, local pub and occasional events, giving Crosby the character of a close‑knit rural settlement with easy links to Carlisle’s services and the region’s historic attractions.
