Ratcliffe-on-Soar, sometimes written Ratcliffe-upon-Soar[1] or Radcliffe-on-Soar,[2] is a village and civil parish in Nottinghamshire on the River Soar.

Although the village does not contain any shops, it has a church and a marina which is often affected by severe flooding as it built on designated floodplain, just before the Soar joins the River Trent at Trentlock.

[6] Ratcliffe is one of three nearby settlements whose name preserves the Brittonic word for "ramparts" (cf.

Gaelic rath ), along with Ratby and the Roman ruins at Leicester, known as Ratae Corieltauvorum.

A shuttle bus service runs from the railway station to East Midlands Airport.
