Par Cornwall Map

About Par

Par, a Cornish village, breathes a quiet air shaped by its proximity to the sea and the gentle rise of the land. It lies 1.7 km south-east of St Blazey (from St Blazey: bearing 132°T, OS grid SX 080 536), and is situated south-west of Tywardreath village. The low-lying land around Par, once marshy and often touched by the sea's high tides, now accommodates a landscape where the water's influence remains palpable, lending a unique softness to the light that falls. The old railway line, a scar of industry now softened by time, traces a path through the terrain, hinting at the days when goods and people moved with a different urgency. The village green, a patch of resilient turf, often catches the salty breeze, carrying the faint scent of brine and wild grasses. Par's character is one of quiet endurance, a place where the sea's ancient whisper still finds an echo in the everyday.
