Roche is a small village located in Cornwall, England. Nestled within the beautiful countryside, Roche is situated approximately 10 miles northeast of the popular tourist destination of St. Austell.

One of the most prominent features of Roche is the iconic Roche Rock, a towering granite outcrop that emerges dramatically from the surrounding landscape. This natural formation has long been a symbol of the village and is often a subject of admiration and intrigue for visitors. The rock is also home to the ruins of St. Michael's Chapel, further enhancing its historical and cultural significance.

The village itself is a charming and picturesque place, with traditional stone houses lining its streets. It has a close-knit community feel, and residents often take pride in maintaining the village's character and heritage.

Roche also offers a range of amenities, including a primary school, local shops, and a pub, which serves as a social hub for both locals and tourists. The village is well-connected to nearby towns and cities, with regular bus services and easy access to the A30 road.

Surrounded by rolling hills and lush countryside, Roche provides an ideal base for exploring the natural beauty of Cornwall. The nearby Luxulyan Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers stunning walks and a glimpse into Cornwall's industrial past.

Overall, Roche offers a peaceful and idyllic setting, rich in history and natural beauty, making it a popular destination for those seeking a rural retreat in Cornwall.
