Retrieved June 2010〕 approximately five miles northwest of Wadebridge〔 On the west side, Brea Hill rises straight from the foreshore; on the north and south it rises from low sand dunes. To the east, the dunes give way to a golf course and grassland with St Enodoc's Church (where the poet Sir John Betjeman is buried) just below the hill. The South West Coast Path follows the west flank of the hill with an alternative route passing to the east.〔〔() South West Coast Path website.
