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. It is on the banks of the River Ure and the village centres on the village green which doubles up as the school playing field. The village has a pub The Crown Inn, which offers 5 star accommodation whilst bringing the 16th century back to life. The village itself is surrounded by scenic views with St Mary's Church, Roecliffe as its main attraction in the heart of the village. The church is believed to be the only church in the country with an entirely vaulted roof.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.achurchnearyou.com/roecliffe/ )〕 Close to Roecliffe are the Dales and the Yorkshire Dales National Park which is known for its spectacular scenery and range of wildlife habitats.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.yorkshiredales.org.uk/specialplace/yorkshiredalesnationalpark )〕 Also close by is the village Skelton-on-Ure. ==History== Excavations in 1993 uncovered two 1st-century Roman forts at Roecliffe, located where the modern A1(M) crosses the River Ure. It is believed that the forts were short-lived and were abandoned in favour of Aldborough, 1 mile east.〔Dobinson, C. (1995 (revised reprint 2012)) ''Aldborough Roman Town''. English Heritage. p.6〕 Roecliffe was historically a township in the parish of Aldborough in the West Riding of Yorkshire.〔(GENUKI website.
