Tywardreath

Perched on a gentle hilltop of Cornwall’s south coast, Tywardreath is a small village that feels delightfully sheltered from the rush of modern life. Roughly three miles (five kilometres) north‑west of Fowey and set in the PL24 district, it offers quiet views across a silted‑up estuary, the opposite banks giving a soft, tidal landscape to admire. Nearby Par and the sandy sweep of Par Sands are close at hand, making it easy to combine a coastal stroll with a visit to this tranquil spot. Walkers will appreciate that Tywardreath sits on the Saints’ Way path, a route that threads through the Cornish countryside and invites pause and exploration. Compact and characterful, the village’s hilltop position rewards visitors with sheltered prospects and a sense of being slightly removed yet well placed for short excursions to the coast or neighbouring villages. Tywardreath is an invitation to slow down, take in estuary light, and follow footpaths that reveal the understated charms of Cornwall’s South West.
