Roch Castle is a small 13th century castle standing on top of a prominent rocky outcrop and is visible for miles around.

The parish church of St Mary, to the southeast of the castle, probably dates from the 13th century and now comprises a nave, south aisle and vestry. It was restored 1857-9 and has some high quality stained glass windows dating from after this time. The church is Grade II listed.^[10]

Roch Gate Motel, on the main A487 road, was developed in the 1960s on a site formerly occupied by a World War II radar station.
