Location - Carbis Cottage is located on the outskirts of Roche. Roche, known in Cornish as 'Tregarrek', means homestead of the rock. The village takes its name from a granite outcrop east of the village and Roche is the Norman-French word for Rock. On top of Roche Rock is a ruined chapel (dedicated to St Michael) which is said to have been the abode of a leper or a monk. Roche has been a village of some prominence being sited close to (but suitably away from) the industrialised china clay areas of Cornwall. Today it is a thriving community with a range of facilities for everyday needs including pub, church, shop/post office and primary school. The village is particularly convenient for access to the A30 and therefore easily accessible to all parts of the county.
