Rockcliffe, Cumbria : ウィキペディア英語版 | Rockcliffe, Cumbria
Rockcliffe is a village and civil parish in the City of Carlisle district of Cumbria, England.〔Philip's Motorist's Atlas: 2004, Octopus Publishing Group, London, England〕 Part of the parish is a marshy peninsula between the mouths of the rivers Esk and Eden. The parish includes the settlements of Rockcliffe, Rockcliffe Cross, Floristonrigg, Todhills, Low Harker and Harker. Rockcliffe formerly had a railway station, on the Caledonian Railway Main Line, that closed in 1965. Another station was located nearby at Floriston that closed in 1950. ==Place-name meaning== Rockcliffe does not mean 'cliff by rocks' as many might think. The name means 'red cliff', implying a sandstone cliff-face. The name is from Old Norse ''rauŏr'' meaning "red" and Old English ''clif'' for "cliff", similar to Radcliffe in Greater Manchester.
