Welcome to Rockcliffe Cross

Rockcliffe Cross is a small village located in the county of Cumbria, England. The village is situated on the Solway Firth, which is a large estuary that separates England from Scotland. The village is known for its beautiful scenery, which includes rolling hills, lush green fields, and stunning views of the sea. The village is also home to a number of historic buildings, including the Rockcliffe Cross, which is a 14th-century stone cross that stands in the center of the village.

The Rockcliffe Cross is a beautiful and historic monument that has stood in the village of Rockcliffe for over 600 years. The cross is made of sandstone and stands at over 10 feet tall. It is believed that the cross was erected in the 14th century as a marker for pilgrims traveling to the nearby St. Ninian's Chapel. The cross is decorated with intricate carvings, including images of saints and angels, and is a testament to the skill of the medieval stonemasons who created it.

Today, the Rockcliffe Cross is a popular tourist attraction and is visited by people from all over the world. The cross is a symbol of the rich history and heritage of the village of Rockcliffe, and is a reminder of the important role that the village played in the religious and cultural life of medieval England. Visitors to the village can explore the cross and the other historic buildings in the area, and can enjoy the stunning natural beauty of the surrounding countryside.
