Roaches Line

Roaches Line is a village located inland from the western side of Conception Bay and south of Bay Roberts in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Roaches Line (route 70) connects the Conception Bay North Highway (route 60) at Cupids Crossing and South River with the Trans Canada Highway (route 1) and Veterans' Memorial Highway (route 75). It is primarily a farming area and known for its landmark life-sized, weathervane horse statue atop a cliff, known locally at "The Look Out". Besides the small year-round resident population, it is a popular cottage area, built up along the shores of the many lakes and ponds.
