This is the roadside verge entering Greystoke village from Penrith. On the verge, several thousand daffodil bulbs were planted in 2012 by men, women and children of the village, as a lasting memorial to the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. The oak tree pictured was planted at the same time. It was grown from an acorn obtained from a tree growing in the Royal Windsor Great Park. The plinth pictured contains a time capsule prepared by children of Greystoke school, detailing events that took place in the village at the time. The plinth bears a plaque detailing this, and further information.
