ROECLIFFE: Harrogate Parish #36 of 139

HARROGATE PARISH #36: ROECLIFFE
Roecliffe - “Red Cliff”
This week in Harrogate we continue to make our way along the River Ure. Welcome to the gorgeous village of Roecliffe - literally Red Cliff - which located on the edge of Boroughbridge. It lies close to the A1, and is centred on a village green which doubles up as a school playing field. Although tiny, Roecliffe parish extends for quite a distance in all directions - but most notably towards the A1, where a massive industrial estate provided logistics company Reed Boardall with their HQ.
There are some awesome landmarks in this one. St Mary's Church is its main attraction. Its believed to be the only church in the country with an entirely vaulted roof. Then there’s the school which dominates the village centre - and you can’t really miss it. It has a spire that’s taller than the church! Roecliffe often attracts tourists. You can stay here thanks to a couple of caravan parks around its edge, but you may also be tempted by the pub. Named The Crown Inn, it has a 16th-century theme, and offers 5 star accommodation.
And lots of people do stay here because close to Roecliffe are the Yorkshire Dales, known for their spectacular scenery. Others prefer to take on the Roecliffe Ramble, a short circular walk that incorporates Westwick Lock.
In all, its not a bad place to come and explore, so lets do just that.

Another very pretty village and interesting history. Many thanks.

Some of the A168 used to be the route of the old A1 before it was upgraded. Pity about the footpath. Thanks.
