Liskeard holiday accommodation

Discover Bodmin Moor Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

There are plenty of interesting walking trails to keep both relaxed ramblers and serious hikers entertained on their holiday in Liskeard. Nearby Bodmin Moor AONB is a great place to start. These wild and windswept moorlands are home to a network of trails that cater to different ages and abilities. One of the most popular nearby walks is to the cascading Golitha Falls, a picturesque trail through ancient woodlands and along the River Fowey. The town of Minions, around five miles from Liskeard, is also a good jumping off point for exploring Bodmin Moor and the Cornish countryside. Gather local information at the Minions Heritage Centre then head to popular sites like the unique rock formation of the Cheesewring on Stowes Hill, the Bronze Age Hurlers Stone Circles, and the South Caradon Mine. Many of the trails allow dogs, just like our pet-friendly holiday homes in Cornwall! Reward yourself after a long day out and about with a soak in your Cornwall hot tub lodge.

Explore local history and heritage

The traditional market town of Liskeard has a rich history and heritage that spans centuries. The town has medieval origins, with a name derived from the Old English words "lisc" (meaning elm) and "hyrst" (meaning clearing), likely due to its setting near the dense woods around the River Looe. It has a thriving market culture, which began back in the 13th century, and an important mining heritage, as is evident in the nearby Caradon Hill area. Check out the Liskeard Heritage Trail, which takes you past the historic Stuart House, the 15th-century St. Martin's Church and the impressive Guildhall. Be sure to include a visit to the Liskeard Museum and Heritage Centre, with its interesting artifacts and exhibits. From luxury Cornwall lodges to cosy cottages, our properties make the perfect base for sightseeing in Liskeard.

Experience family fun and adventure

If you're going on a family trip to Liskeard, then there are plenty of local activities and attractions to keep the whole family entertained. For outdoor adventure, look no further than Adrenalin Quarry in Menheniot. Home to an aquapark and a 490m zipline, a go karting course and a giant swing, this is an exhilarating day out for both children and adults. If you're after something a tad more relaxing, consider a ride on a heritage train along the Liskeard and Caradon Railway, an enchanting woodland walk around Carnglaze Caverns, or an animal encounter at Porfell Wildlife Park & Sanctuary.
