Located comfortably in Cornwall's south-east, the small town of Liskeard carries a weighty heritage as a former stannary and market town. It's nestled approximately 20 miles west of Plymouth and offers easy access to the Devon border and the county town of Bodmin. Home to little over 11,000 residents according to the 2011 census, Liskeard still retains its peaceful tranquility.

The town's historical eminence is rather intriguing — Liskeard was a court of King Dungarth and, in the Domesday Survey era, commanded an important manor complete with a mill and market. While the Norman castle no longer stands, you'll find the town's historicity pervading its markets, churches, and Victorian shops.

Liskeard is, above all, a lively town brimming with community spirit. Be a part of local festivities with the annual pantomime, carnival, agricultural show, and St Matthew's Fair. Indulge in the town's excellent dining scene or simply explore its educational history, starting from the first school back in 1550.

From an accessible railway station to the A38 trunk road and comprehensive bus services, getting around or reaching Liskeard leaves you spoiled for choice. Sporting enthusiasts can revel in local football, rugby, cricket clubs, and the King George V Playing Field. And to unwind? There's always Liskeard’s leisure centre and bowling club. Newspapers, local radio, and the Masonic Hall are additional facets of community life in Liskeard.

Indeed, enjoying this slice of English life extends beyond Cornwall. For a flavour of transnational friendship, you might find it fascinating that Liskeard is twinned with Quimperlé in Brittany, France.

When to visit Liskeard

For a town as enchanting as Liskeard, it's essential to pick the right time for a visit. The summer months of June, July, and August are ideally suited for a warm and comfortable outing. But don’t discount the months of April and September, which have a lower probability of significant rainfall.

Should you enjoy moderately warm weather with moderate rainfall, both springtime (March-May) and autumn (September-November) provide beautiful opportunities to explore the town. Late July is generally the warmest part of the year, with temperatures hovering around a comfortable 19.8°C.

Winter, from December to February, tends to be the least popular time for a visit due to colder climates and a higher probability of precipitation. However, if you're up for an adventure wrapped in the cosy layers of winter, why not come and experience Liskeard in its wintry beauty?

To ensure your stay is as comfortable as it is memorable, consider booking your preferred choice of accommodation with LycaFly today!
