Ratcliffe-on-Soar 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 and Trentlock. With a population of around 100, 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 flood-plain,just before the notorious soar-valley joins the river Trent at Trent-lock.
The Midland Main Line runs by the village, which is now served by the new East Midlands Parkway station. A shuttle bus service runs from the station to East Midlands Airport.
