Par
A village and fishing port at the edge of Par Sands between St Austell and Fowey and half a mile from Twywardreath village and nearby to the hamlet of Polmear, at the bottom of Polmear Hill.
Par (Cornish: An Porth) is in Cornwall.
In days gone by when there were higher sea levels and less silting up, Polmear had a small quay and a lime kiln. Now the settlement is approx 400m from the main beach car park on a small river which once may have been a ford at low tide.

gollark: ... seriously? That's very dodecahedral of them.
gollark: OR DID YOU?
gollark: Probably better to make basic features work first.
gollark: Also, it may still leak if you look at it weirdly.
