King's Cliffe is a small, picturesque village in North Northamptonshire, England, sitting not far from the meanders of the River Nene and close to the Cambridgeshire border. The village has a compact, historic centre of ironstone and limestone houses, many listed, and lies in countryside once part of the old Rockingham Forest, making it popular with walkers and people looking for a rural base within easy reach of Peterborough.
There are clear medieval roots - the parish church and several old cottages give a strong sense of history - and nearby is the site of RAF King's Cliffe, a former Second World War airfield used by Allied units. Today the local economy is largely rural with commuting to nearby towns, and the community keeps a lively calendar of village events and conservation-minded activities that reflect its strong local identity.
