Tywardreath (Cornish: Ti War Dreth, meaning manorial centre on a beach) is a small hilltop village in southern Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. about 3 miles (4.8 km) north west of Fowey. It is located in a sheltered spot overlooking a silted up estuary opposite Par and near the beach of Par Sands. It sits on the Saints' Way trail.
Tywardreath translates from the Cornish language as a manorial centre on a beach, or House on the Strand, and was featured by Daphne du Maurier in her novel The House on the Strand. Although a fictional tale of drug-induced time-travel, the history and geography of the area was carefully researched by du Maurier who lived in a house called Kilmarth (Cornish: Kilmergh, meaning horses' ridge), 1 mile (1.6 km) to the south.
The seal of the borough of Tywardreath was a Shield of Arms a saltire between four fleurs-de-lis, with the legend "Tywardreath".
Tywardreath was recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) when it was one of 28 manors held by Richard from Robert, Count of Mortain. There were 2 hides of land and land for 12 ploughs. One virgate of land was held by Richard with 4 ploughs and 7 serfs; 8 villeins and 18 smallholders had the rest of the land with 3 ploughs. There were 6 acres of woodland and 100 acres of pasture. The manor was valued at £2 sterling though it had formerly been worth £4.
