Our Liskeard cottages are situated in the heart of southeast Cornwall, gateway to secluded coves and resorts along the stunning south coast and, to the northwest, the vast windswept expanse of Bodmin Moor.
Historic trails near your Liskeard cottage
Liskeard developed as an important tin mining centre and is an interesting town to explore. Follow the heritage trail, another especially created for children or the Henry Rice Trail, taking in over 100 buildings designed by the architect. Discover more historic facts at the local museum and at Stuart House, a delightful arts and heritage centre. Other notable buildings include the Victorian Guildhall, Regency Market Hall and St. Martin's Church. Do also look out for the Pipe Well, fed by four springs and said to have healing powers, as well as decorative murals portraying scenes from Liskeard's past. And if you head just out of town you'll stumble across King Doniert's Stone, two intricately carved fragments of a 9th-Century Celtic cross and Trethevy Quoit, a Neolithic burial chamber.
Liskeard's narrow lanes are lined with a good range of shops, while traditional markets are held on Mondays and Thursdays. On the food front, enjoy informal gatherings in your Liskeard cottage or sample local specialities in one of the restaurants or pubs.
Other entertainment comes in the form of Lux Park, an excellent leisure centre popular with families. Plus there are lots of cultural, musical, stage and other such events held on a regular basis.
