Rock, Cornwall

Rock (Cornish: Pennmeyn)[1] is a coastal fishing village in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

The village is in the civil parish of St Minver Lowlands[3] about 4 miles (6.4 km) north-west of Wadebridge.

To the northwest, the road runs beside the estuary as a cul de sac giving access to the ferry boarding point and an intertidal beach backed by sand dunes which at low water extend for two miles past Brea Hill to Daymer Bay.

[7] Rock is popular with holidaymakers and in 1881 the hotel was enlarged, a new sea-wall built and a bathing house erected on the beach.

[9] The Black Tor Ferry operates across the river to the town of Padstow, and this is a major source of tourist traffic through Rock.
