All about Rock
Boutique cafes, award-winning restaurants, and a refined atmosphere attract discerning travelers to this seaside town in North Cornwall. Royals, politicians, and A-list actors have all chosen it as a holiday spot. Rock repays the compliment with a mile-long stretch of sandy beach with gorgeous views across the Camel Estuary — a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty — not to mention azure waters and a village shop that stocks gourmet delicacies and fine wine. You’ll see plenty of sailing yachts, too, while the estuary’s sheltered waters also make it popular with waterskiers, kayakers, and windsurfers.
An easy, scenic 10-minute ride on a pedestrian ferry makes a trip across the river to Padstow almost compulsory (there’s a local rivalry between the towns, and Padstow has its own fine-dining scene) while a 30-minute coastal walk north of town leads you over undulating dunes to the equally attractive beach of Daymer Bay.
What are the top things to do in Rock?
Brea Hill
The South West Coast Path linking Rock with Daymer Bay leads you around this hillock rather than over it, but it’s worth the short steep climb up its rounded sides. The shapes at its 62-metre summit are caused by the Bronze Age burial mounds that lie beneath it, and the views of the estuary let you see all the way to Pentire Point in one direction and Padstow in the other.
St Enodoc Church
Nicknamed “Sinking Neddy” by the locals, this 12th-century chapel was buried by the sand dunes around it for 300 years. The church was eventually dug out, but the spire has been left permanently wonky as a result, and is a quirky sight, set in the middle of a scenic 19th-century golf course.
Doom Bar
At the mouth of the Camel Estuary, you can see foaming white breakers where the waves run over this famous sandbank. Doom Bar is a natural feature that keeps the estuary waters protected during storms, but it has also run many ships aground. The name has also been given to a local ale, and you can tour the brewery in Rock that makes it.
