Roecliffe is a village and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England.

It is situated near the A1 road motorway which connects London with Edinburgh and is 1 mile west of Boroughbridge.

Excavations in 1993 uncovered two 1st-century Roman forts at Roecliffe, located where the modern A1(M) crosses the River Ure.

[4] Roecliffe was historically a township in the parish of Aldborough in the West Riding of Yorkshire.

The area close to the River Ure was once a clay pit in the 19th century, and has been transformed into a private nature reserve.

Roecliffe is flat surrounded by hilly countryside and close by the upland area of the Yorkshire Dales, as a result the weather is unpredictable.
