Rockcliffe is named for the small, sandstone cliffs that the Eden has forged over time here. It is a small village on the marshy peninsula between the Rivers Eden and Esk.

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.
