In the center stands St. Mary's Church, with a 10th-century Norse cross and a ship's weathervane as a reminder of its maritime past. Rockcliffe also has a village school, a cricket club, a community center, and the welcoming pub, The Crown and Thistle.

Global Warming Sculpture (Eden Benchmark) at Rockcliffe
Highlight • Structure
It is home to 'Global Warming', the final sculpture in the Eden Benchmark series, created by artist Anthony Turner. There are various interpretations of the piece. Whether it is a melting planet or simply the Earth held in the embrace of a cupped hand, it is for you to decide what you make of it.
The Eden Benchmarks are a series of 10 sculptures that stretch from the source of the River Eden, high in the Mallerstang Valley, to here at Rockcliffe, beyond where the Eden meets the Solway Firth.
