and accommodation bookings can be found at the Looe Tourist Information Centre. Entering Cornwall on the Torpoint Ferry and travelling to Looe you will pass the famous Trago Mills out of town experience, this is well worth a visit to find a bargain, to eat, entertain the kids, and much more.
Liskeard to St Austell L
iskeard is a great place to visit. Come and explore the
independent shops, many of which retain their original Victorian shop fronts. You could visit Stuart House, the oldest house in the town, King Charles I stayed there briefly during the Civil War and you can visit the bedroom he slept in. There are often concerts and other events in the town, drop into the Town Information Centre for details of what’s on. While there why not pick up a copy of the Heritage Trail, this free map takes you on a guided walk around the town pointing out all the places of interest including the Pipe Well which is fed by four springs and the water was once said to have miraculous properties, be good for the eyes and have ‘matrimonial powers’.
Liskeard is surrounded by stunning countryside; Bodmin Moor is just a few miles away. At Minions you will find the remains of the copper mining industry including South Caradon Mine and Phoenix Mine. You can also walk to The Hurlers, a Bronze Age stone circle and The Cheesewring which is a natural stone formation. Another local beauty spot is Golitha Falls where you can take a walk through beautiful ancient woodland alongside the River Fowey. You can also take a trip on the Liskeard to Looe branch line which is celebrated as one of the most scenic railway journeys in the country.
Nearby St Neot with its church, housing some interesting fifteenth century stained glass windows, is a very tranquil and pretty place to visit, even better to live. Not too far from there are the Carnglaze Slate Caverns.
St Neot
After leaving Liskeard on going south on the A38 main trunk road take the Dobwalls spur road to St Austell, and then after going through Dobwalls village take the A39, this will bring you to Lostwithiel once Cornwall’s seat of Parliament. The town is small and is worth seeking out. Don’t be put off by its uninteresting main street.
Take a look at the medieval bridge, under which the River Fowey flows, much too narrow for modern traffic.
When leaving Lostwithiel head for the coast to Fowey, situated on the south coast of Cornwall between Looe and Mevagissey. Over the
centuries Fowey has grown and now stretches for a mile along the west bank of the River Fowey to the mouth of the river. On the opposite bank, is the village of Polruan. A regular passenger ferry connects the two and further up river a car ferry runs from Fowey to Bodinnick on the other side of the river. Designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Fowey has much to offer with something for everyone. A natural harbour, it is a haven for yachtsmen with as many as 7,000 visiting yachts in a season. Fowey is an exporting port for china clay and also a popular destination for cruise liners, whose passengers are able to enjoy the delights of the town. What a sight to see these enormous ships come through the narrow harbour entrance, turn in the middle of the river and be pulled upstream to their mooring.
