About

Roche & Bugle ward lies within the Clay Country of mid-Cornwall, an area historically shaped by the china clay industry. The landscape is characterised by large, white spoil tips known as the Cornish Alps, which are a legacy of this industrial past. The settlements of Roche and Bugle are functional villages serving the local community, with housing, schools, and essential services. The geography is one of rolling inland terrain, with farmland interspersed with these distinctive man-made features.

A key landmark is the Roche Rock, a dramatic granite outcrop topped by the ruins of a medieval hermitage chapel. This natural feature provides views across the clay district and stands in stark contrast to the surrounding industrial topography. The area's economy has diversified, but the clay heritage remains central to its identity. Footpaths and cycling trails, such as the Clay Trails, now navigate the old workings, repurposing the landscape for recreation and connecting the villages within the ward.
