Liskeard is a historic market town and civil parish in Cornwall, England, set against the rolling farmland and moorland that leads up to Bodmin Moor and the old mining country of the Caradon Hills. The compact centre retains Georgian and Victorian architecture and a strong market-town feel, with independent shops, a medieval parish church and civic buildings that recall its long role as a local service hub.
Well connected by rail to larger centres such as Plymouth and by the branch line down to Looe, the parish acts as a gateway for walkers and heritage tourists exploring the surrounding countryside and former mining landscape. Local life mixes traditional community events, voluntary organisations and small-scale commerce, giving it a blend of rural character and everyday amenities.
