Doublebois is a small rural village in south‑east Cornwall, sited beside the busy A38 and within easy reach of the market town of Liskeard. It occupies typical Cornish countryside of rolling farmland and wooded valleys, which makes it attractive to walkers and those seeking a quieter base within commuting distance of Plymouth.
Historically the settlement has grown from agricultural roots and at one time benefitted from a local railway connection to the wider region; today the local economy is a mix of farming, small businesses and commuter households, and community life is largely shaped by countryside pursuits and occasional village events rather than extensive local amenities.
