Par, Cornwall

Flower Delivery to Par with Clare Florist

The town of Par is located on the south east coast of Cornwall on the bay of Tywardreath. It also stands close to the Cornwall railway where also lies a post office. It is traditionally a fishing village and was originally home to a ferry which transported minerals like china clay, china stone and ore across the River Par. In the 19th century, a harbor and a bridge were constructed by John Treffry to take the place of the ferry. Today, Par is also home to a group of copper mines called the Par Consols as well as a chapelry in St. Blazey and Tywardreath. The views of the harbor and surrounding village of Par are quite beautiful.

Should you have a chance to visit Par, it is definitely the place to find hidden gems. You can head out to Wingz Bird Sanctuary. It has a small collection of birds, parrots and cranes as well as other animals such as meercats, wallabies and racoon dogs. You can also feed the ducks. It is a great place to go if you have a couple hours to spare. The Mid-Cornwall Galleries is another attraction that may be worth your while. It has many paintings and other artwork from local artists as well as other local craft. It is small, but there remains plenty to look at so time should be allotted for.   

There are also many gardens in Par which are well worth visiting. Marsh Villa Gardens is one that you can expect a very warm welcome and though it isn’t immaculately manicured, it is a ‘gardener’s garden.’ The flowers are very colourful and it has a pond and many different plants. Dogs are welcome if on a lead, the price is reasonable and you will not often find it crowded. Tregrehan Gardens is also much the same and is well worth the visit. Hidden Valley Gardens is another very beautiful garden and a place where you can become one with nature for a short time. In this last Garden, you can drink tea outside and nibble on your favourite snack while admiring the view.

Only 3 miles from Par lies the Eden Project which may also be of interest and if you go at the right time of year, the many gardens will be blooming up a storm. There is also an indoor rainforest and plenty of places to sip a cup of tea and admire the beauty. It seems obvious that Par and its surrounding areas are not in want of beauteous gardens and of course flowers. However, there may come a time when you may want some flowers of your own. Many gardens don’t allow you to take anything with you and if you aren’t a gardener yourself what is to be done? Par flowers though many in number aren’t always for the taking.

If you are in a hurry and need to send flowers to Par for a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion, Clare Florist guarantees that wherever you are in the UK you will receive flowers by the next day.
