Tywardreath and Par is a parish on the south coast of Cornwall between Fowey and St Austell. The parish is located to the north east of St. Austell Bay (once Tywardreath Bay) in what was the old borough of Restormel. It is bounded to the west by the parish of St. Blazey, to the north by Lanlivery, to the east by Golant and to the south by Fowey.
The population is just over 3000, and the main settlements are Tywardreath village and Par village. The old village of Tywardreath is situated above Par, and is home to the local school. It is the site of the ancient Benedictine Priory. Par sits across the A3082 St. Blazey-Fowey road and has on its sea side the wonderful family beach of Par Sands.
