St Breock is a small, rural parish in Cornwall, England, lying near Wadebridge and the Camel valley. The landscape mixes lowland farmland with the distinctive rise of St Breock Downs, making it popular for walkers and wildlife-watchers and giving a pleasant patchwork of fields, lanes and hedgerows.
Its history and identity are rooted in early Christianity - the church is dedicated to the Celtic saint St Breaca - and in prehistoric times, with a notable Neolithic standing stone on the Downs often described as one of Cornwall’s largest. Today the community combines traditional agriculture with small local businesses and commuters to nearby towns, while tourism and outdoor recreation make a modest economic contribution.
