Crayke is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, about east of Easingwold.
==Etymology== The name Crayke is of Brittonic origin, derived from the neo-Brittonic Cumbric crẹ:g, meaning "a crag" or "prominent rock" (Welsh craig). This derivation may refer to the topography associated with the Northumbrian monastery at Crayke.
