A Cornwall road which has waterside views and "legendary" house prices has been named one of the best streets to live on in the UK.
Rock Road, which is located in the village of Rock, was featured alongside 29 others in a list from the Daily Mail.
Discussing the creation of the list, the publication wrote: "How do you decide what is a 'good' street to live on? It's not as simple as it sounds.
"You may want to be near a pub. Yet you don't want to be so close that you hear disturbances at night. A restaurant would be good. But you don't want to smell cooking all day and night.
"You'd like access to green space. But perhaps you don't want to be isolated in the wilds of the countryside. You want friendly neighbours. But you don't want them to be too intrusive.
"We consulted tried-and-trusted estate agents and property experts across the country to bring you the ultimate guide to Britain's 30 best streets to live on, whether your budget is £120,000 or £2.25 million."
The full list of the UK's best 30 streets to live on can be found on the Daily Mail website here.

Discussing its benefits, the publication mentioned its views looking out over the Camel Estuary and the various establishments you can find on there.
They wrote: "The house prices in Rock Road, across the Camel Estuary from Padstow, North Cornwall, are legendary but – according to estate agent Josephine Ashby at John Bray – perfectly justified."
Bray added: "Consider what you have on this one road. A butcher, baker, gastro pub and more, while you have brilliant sailing in the estuary and a great golf course a short walk away."
