Polzeath - Rock 10

Route Overview & Local Insights

This 10km clockwise loop offers a rewarding mix of quiet lanes and stunning coastal trail. It passes through Polzeath Golf Course before following Rock Road inland, winding its way to the village of Rock. After navigating its streets, the route picks up the South West Coast Path, offering a spectacular contrast as it curves along the Camel Estuary and then northwards above the open sea. Rugged clifftop trails, sea views, and wide skies define this exposed coastal section. Underfoot, the terrain varies between firm pavement, compact paths, and grassy clifftop tracks. With gentle elevation changes and ever-changing scenery, the loop is both runnable and scenic — a great way to link two of North Cornwall’s most iconic spots.
