Great Musgrave is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Musgrave, in the Westmorland and Furness district of Cumbria, England. It is about a mile west of Brough. In 1891 the parish had a population of 175.
The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Eden, about 10 m from the middle of Great Musgrave's gauges. It flows on to the sea.
A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed this point; one upstream sees it first. Distances along the river are from the point on the River Eden nearest the middle of Great Musgrave's gauges. From Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers), which leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts, so a nearer one may exist. This describes where water goes on the map; it says nothing about flooding at any address. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.
