Ratcliffe-on-Soar, sometimes also written Ratcliffe-upon-Soar[1] or given as Radcliffe-on-Soar,[2] is a village and civil parish in Nottinghamshire on the River Soar. It is part of the Rushcliffe district, and is the site of Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station. Nearby places are Kingston on Soar, Kegworth and Trentlock. With a population measured at 141 in the 2011 Census,[3] and marginally increasing to 147 residents at the 2021 census,[4] the parish is too small to have a parish council and so has a parish meeting. Although the village does not contain any shops, it has a church and a marina which is often affected by severe flooding as it built on designated floodplain, just before the Soar joins the River Trent at Trentlock.[5]
