Roche, Cornwall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roche is a village and parish in the Restormel district of mid-Cornwall, United Kingdom.

Near the towns of Bodmin and St Austell and also the Eden Project, the village is punctuated by Roche Rock, an outcrop of granite with a ruined chapel perched dramatically at the top.

A road junction near the centre of the village is home to a few shops and businesses, and there is an industrial park on the outskirts which includes a large car breakers' yard. Also nearby are a number of quarries.
