Liskeard is a small historic market town in eastern Cornwall, England, sitting on the southern fringe of Bodmin Moor and beneath the wooded slopes of Caradon Hill. Its tight-knit centre still reflects its medieval market origins and Victorian streetscapes, with a parish church and civic buildings punctuating a mix of independent shops and cafes.
The town has long links to mining and rural trade, and today its economy blends local services, agriculture, tourism and commuting - helped by the A38 corridor and the railway connection on the Looe Valley Line down to the coastal town of Looe and onward connections towards Plymouth. Community events, a small museum and access to moorland and coast make it a practical base for exploring the varied landscapes of Cornwall.
