Welcome to Liskeard in Cornwall

An ancient Stannary and market town conveniently located in the heart of South East Cornwall, Liskeard is the administrative centre of the Caradon District.

The town lies above the Looe river valley, some 14 miles west of the Tamar river. The main London to Penzance railway line and the A38 trunk road provide Liskeard with rapid access to Plymouth and the motorway network, and the rest of Cornwall. The hidden coves and resorts of the beautiful south Cornish coast are easily reached by road or rail, whilst to the north of the town lies the vast rugged expanse of remote Bodmin Moor.

A wide range of shops, services and facilities benefit visitors and residents alike. Local business largely comprises small independent establishments, many specialising in unique local products. Some shops retain original Victorian shopfronts and interiors, and whether your interest is the Cornish language, a homemade Cornish pasty, Cornish cheese, wine, jewellery or glass, the town can satisfy your needs. Visitors will enjoy browsing the narrow streets and traffic-free lanes of the town centre. There is a good range of restaurants, cafes and pubs in the town and the surrounding villages, and a wide range of quality accommodation is also available.

Leisure facilities are available at Lux Park, providing an indoor sports and fitness centre as well as an all-weather floodlit football and hockey pitch. The town has a wealth of cultural, arts, musical, sports and other societies many of which stage regular events, performances and exhibitions in the town.
