Polzeath () ((コーンウォール語:Polsegh), meaning ''dry creek'') is a small seaside resort in the civil parish of St Minver〔() Cornwall Council online mapping. Retrieved June 2010〕 in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is approximately north west of Wadebridge on the Atlantic coast.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 200 ''Newquay & Bodmin'' ISBN 978-0-319-22938-5〕 Polzeath has a sandy beach and is popular with holiday-makers and surfers. The beach is wide and extends from the seafront at low water; however, most of the sand is submerged at high water.〔 At exceptionally high spring tides the sea floods the car park at the top of the beach. Polzeath beach is patrolled by lifeguards during the summer and is described on the RNLI website as : ''... a wide, flat beach with some shelter from winds, it sees good quality surf and is quite often extremely crowded''.〔() RNLI Lifeguards, Polzeath. Retrieved June 2010〕 Dolphins may sometimes be spotted in the bay and the coastline north of Polzeath is a good area for seeing many types of birds including corn buntings and puffins.〔() RSPB website; Pentire and Rumps Point. Retrieved June 2010〕 The main street runs along the seafront and has a parade of shops catering for holidaymakers and residents. There are pubs, cafés, restaurants, a caravan site and several camping sites in the immediate area. The road rises up steep hills at both ends of the seafront; towards the village of Trebetherick to the southwest and New Polzeath to the northeast.〔 ==History== In 1911 a Methodist chapel was built on the road towards Trebetherick at Chapel Corner. The original building was demolished in 1932 when the village street was widened. A new village hall was opened on 15 April 1933. A stream rises near St Minver to the south. Before reaching Polzeath, it is joined by a tributary which rises north of Pityme. Shilla Mill at the edge of Polzeath, stands at the confluence of the streams.〔 Built around 1590 it ceased working as a mill in 1885 and was converted into a house. Until 1934 the main street through the village crossed the stream by means of a ford. A footbridge was provided for pedestrians which was sometimes washed away by winter storms. In 1934 the road bridge was built. The winter storms of 2014 changed the topography of the beach and there is now a sand bar across the beach. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Polzeath」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
