The River Greta is a tributary of the River Derwent in Cumbria, England. It flows through the city of Keswick .
The origin of the river is near Threlkeld, the union of the River Glenderamackin and St John's Beck . From there, the river flows west, following roughly the former railway line between Keswick and Penrith .
The river then flows through Keswick before flowing into the River Derwent, just after the latter flowed out of Derwent Water .
