The parish of Tywardreath and Par 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 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.
The other part of the parish, Tywardreath Highway, consists of approximately
50 dwellings built along either side of the A390 St. Austell-Lostwithiel
road.
