Tregirls (Cornish: Tregryllas, meaning farmstead of the ruins of an ancient dwelling) is a farmstead in Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is situated approximately half-a-mile (1 km) north of Padstow.[1] The settlement consists of a farm and converted cottages which are let as holiday accommodation.[2]
Tregirls beach (which takes its name from the settlement) is 500 metres north at grid reference SW 911 769. The north-facing beach is in the River Camel estuary and is backed by dunes. The beach is also known as Harbour Cove.[3] The South West Coast Path runs behind the beach.[4]
At low water, Tregirls beach extends half-a-mile into the estuary and at its northeast point forms the Doom Bar, a spit of sand across the river mouth.[5]
The settlement takes its name from the manor of Grylls or Tregrylls of which it was a parcel along with Crugmeer, Treator, and Trenio.[6]
