About Brock
Located on Trebetherick point, Brock is uniquely positioned with uninterrupted views of both the North Atlantic and the Camel Estuary. Built in 1938, its traditional "Arts and Crafts" design has been retained through a number of original features, but it has been comprehensively modernised and extended.

Surrounding Area
Cornwall’s natural landscape provides a contrast of wide sandy beaches, rugged cliffs, hidden coves, unspoiled fishing villages, vineyards, countryside and coastal walks, lots of water sports and a mild coastal climate. Brock being in an outstandingly beautiful location overlooking the Camel estuary takes advantage of all these attractions.
Daymer Bay
Daymer Bay is a large and safe sandy beach which is great for swimming, a 5 minute walk along the cliff footpath from Brock. The rock pools are a haven for young children and the acres of golden sands are perfect for buckets and spades and walking. It is also a popular spot for windsurfing, kitesurfing and power kiting. Brae Hill overlooks the beach and offers breathtaking views of the estuary. Just beyond the sand dunes is the beautiful St Enodoc Church, which holds the grave of Sir John Betjeman.
Polzeath and Surfing
A short walk up the coastal path and you reach Polzeath, regarded as one of the best surfing beaches in Cornwall. There are plenty of little restaurants, cafes and surf shops by the beach and you can hire wetsuits and surfboards if you fancy a quick surf or a lesson. Polzeath has lifeguards during the summer months and car parking on the beach or on the cliff above.
Rock and Watersports

Golf
The famous St. Enodoc Golf Club at Rock has an 18-hole championship course and a shorter 18-hole course which is ideal for beginners. The courses are classic links courses with spectacular views across the estuary. There is also an 18-hole course at Roserrow near Polzeath.
Padstow
Padstow is an historic fishing port with a pretty working harbour which the whole town revolves around. Fishing trips, pleasure boats and high powered speed boats may be booked from the quayside or alternatively visit the National Lobster Hatchery or the Elizabethan manor house and Deer Park at Prideaux Place.
