Rawcliffe Bridge is a small hamlet in the West Riding of Yorkshire, sitting about three miles south-west of Goole and just south of the M62 motorway.
The hamlet was once served by a station on the Selby to Goole branch line, but this closed along with the line in June 1964.
The Aire and Calder Navigation runs just south of Rawcliffe Bridge. Sugar Mill Ponds lies just to the west and is designated as a Local Nature Reserve.
Rawcliffe Bridge is home to an ex-RAF hardened communications UNITER bunker which is now owned by a security company, next to this site also is a MoD GPSS fuel depot.
