Rawcliffe is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, lying on low-lying, largely reclaimed marshland close to the rivers that feed into the Humber and the nearby port town of Goole. The flat, open landscape of drains and fields gives the area a strong agricultural character and makes it notable for wetland birdlife and wide rural vistas.
Historically the village has been shaped by drainage and land-reclamation schemes, with farming long the dominant local economy and the waterside trade of nearby towns influencing development. Today Rawcliffe retains a small-village feel, with community activities and local amenities serving residents while many commute to larger centres for work, creating a mix of traditional rural life and practical links to regional industry and transport.
