Tywardreath sits on a hillside overlooking the St Blazey Valley, just inland from the coastal village of Par. Its name, Cornish for ‘House on the Sands,’ points to a time before the nearby marshland was reclaimed, when the sea reached much closer to the village church. Today, it functions as a busy, self-contained community with its own primary school, a surgery, and various local shops centered around the church square. While the village feels quiet and tucked away, it is practically positioned for getting around: Par railway station is a short walk down the hill, providing a direct link to the mainline for trains to London or Penzance. For exercise and fresh air, you have the choice of heading down to Par Sands or picking up the Saints’ Way, an ancient cross-country packhorse route that passes right through the village on its way from Padstow to Fowey.
