Liskeard is a historic market town in south east Cornwall, its Georgian and Victorian streets reflecting its past prosperity from the tin and copper mining boom, along with a proper working town centre that feels distinct from the coastal resorts nearby.

Beyond the town itself, Liskeard makes a handy base for exploring the southern edge of Bodmin Moor, the Looe Valley branch line down to the coast, and the quieter villages of the Caradon area.

This page brings together everything we cover in Liskeard, with detailed guides below to the best walks, places to eat and stay, and things to do in the area.
