Dobwalls is a village in east Cornwall, England, lying a couple of miles west of Liskeard on the fringes of Bodmin Moor. Historically it grew from farming and the 19th‑century mining boom of the nearby Caradon hills and was connected into the local transport network by the Looe Valley Line and local roads.
Today Dobwalls is largely residential, with many people commuting via the A38 towards Plymouth or Exeter, but it still retains village amenities such as a primary school, pub and community hall, and benefits from easy access to attractive countryside, the wooded Looe valley and the south Cornish coast around Looe.
