Polbrock is a small hamlet in north Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is situated two miles south-east of Wadebridge at grid reference SX 014 695.
Polbrock is situated in the steep-sided and heavily wooded valley of the River Camel and is the site of a bridge carrying a minor road over the river. The bridge is the first crossing of the River Camel upstream of Wadebridge; the next crossing is at Nanstallon two miles further upstream.[1]
Polbrock is on the Camel Trail long-distance footpath and cycle trail. At this point, the Camel Trail follows the trackbed of the former Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway).[2][3]
Polbrock is the first road access point to the Camel Trail when travelling from Wadebridge towards Bodmin.[4] There is a small car park and picnic area from which a footpath leads through Bishops Wood to Hustyn Mill.
