Rock is one of Cornwall’s most diverse coastal villages. Opposite Padstow and close to Polzeath it has a reputation for attracting the well-heeled to its coastal reaches on the Camel Estuary. Rock holiday cottages won’t disappoint either. Despite the dominance of the food scene in Padstow, Michelin star chef Nathan Outlaw has put Rock on the foodie map with his two restaurants here. Not forgetting a satisfyingly broad choice of independent eateries and cafes.

Polzeath has to have a mention for its where surfers heading to these parts must venture. Rock’s beautiful sandy stretch is in a sheltered inlet perfect for family days at the beach. Moor your boat here, bring your water skis or paddleboard, or blow up your inflatable kayak and head off to explore the coastline from another perspective.
