Roche Rock

Clinging to a spur of contorted rock surrounded by barren heath, the curious tumbledown chapel on top of Roche Rock looks like a forgotten set from Monty Python’s Life of Brian. The present chapel is thought to date from around the 15th century, although there was an oratory here long before.

The site is just outside Roche village; watch for the signs as you drive east on the A30 from Fraddon.
