Tideford (/ˈtɪdɪfərd/;[1] Cornish: Resteudhi)[2] is a small village in east Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.
Tideford grew in the eighteenth century as the nearby Port Eliot country estate built a number of houses in the village.
Many of these have now been sold, but of note is 'Bridge House', located at the bottom of Bridge Road, which remains a gatehouse onto the estate.
The village has a butchers' shop, a branch of the Royal British Legion, a Montessori nursery and a small public house.
The sloping land was excavated and tree trunks were laid as a base before being covered with top soil to give a flat playing surfaces thus making it one of the first purpose built, if not the first, cricket grounds in the County.
