There is plenty of short-term car parking space available around the town centre.


The town is also on the main railway line, with the station being a few minutes’ walk.


A branch line from Liskeard runs down the picturesque Looe Valley to the seaside.


Liskeard has several churches with the large parish church of St Martin’s providing a prominent landmark in the town. The church was built in the 15th century on an original Norman site.


At the Foresters Hall there is a tourist information office and an interesting local museum. Liskeard was granted its charter by Richard, Earl of Cornwall, the brother of Henry III in 1240.


Since then it has always been an important centre for agriculture and during the mining boom in Cornwall it was also a key player in that industry, being a ‘coinage’ town.


.In the year 1294 Liskeard sent two members to Parliament but this was reduced to one by the 1832 Reform Act.

Among these MPs were the historian and author Edward Gibbon, who wrote the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, and Isaac Foot, the father of the famous Foot family.


Charles I used Stuart House on The Parade as a lodging in 1644 and today the building is used for arts, heritage and community events.


The town’s Guildhall, with a clock tower, was built in 1859 and the Public Hall was constructed in 1890


Another interesting feature in the town centre is Pipe Well in Well Street, below Fore Street.


Fed by four springs, the well has never been known to run dry, even in drought years.


In past times, the water from thespring was believed to possess miraculous healing powers.


Coast and country, moor and sea, a rich history and the best of Cornwall today: Liskeard continues to make the most of its location.
