Roche Rock

Roche Rock is on the outskirts of the village of Roche in mid Cornwall just off the A30 trunk road. There is no car park near the rock but on-road parking is possible near the rock for just a few cars. The village gets its name from this outcrop of granite, Roche being the Norman-French word for Rock. On the top of the rock are the ruins of a chapel and many folklore tales are associated with the chapel. The rock has geological interest and became a SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Importance) in 1991. There are toilet facilities a short distance away next to the village school.
