Par
Par is a town as well as fishing port with a harbour on the south coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The town is positioned in the civil parish of Tywardreath and Par, although West Par as well as the docks hinge on the parish of St Blaise. Par is about 3.5 miles (5.6 km) east of St Austell. Par has a population of around 1,600 (in 2012). It became developed in the second quarter of the 19th century when the harbour was created, to serve copper mines and also other mineral sites in as well as surrounding the Luxulyan Valley; china clay later on ended up being the leading website traffic as copper working declined, as well as the harbour and also the china clay dries continue to be as distinguishing characteristics of the commercial heritage; nevertheless the mineral activity is much lowered. Par Harbour as well as the coastline at Par Sands are southern of the village, as well as the latter includes a big static campers holiday park; one more tiny coastline is at Spit Point west of the harbour. In between these 2 coastlines the South West Coast Path takes an inland diversion via the town. Par hinges on a triangular of streets which develop a one-way traffic system. There is a selection of shops, a post office, a hostelry as well as various other services.
