Roche Rock Cornwall UK 🇬🇧

ATOP A 66-FOOT-TALL TOURMALINE GRANITE, OUTCROP looking out at the atmospheric Bodmin Moor and china clay “mountains” of St. Austell stands Roche Rock Hermitage. The ruined chapel, built in 1409, is dedicated to Saint Michael and has been surrounded by myth and mystery for hundreds of years.
According to local folklore, a hermit and his daughter once lived within the rocky structure. The hermitage was last occupied by a family of local landowners who, when they contracted leprosy, stayed here to avoid infecting the village of Roche.
