Premier Inn Liskeard

Liskeard is known for its rich mining heritage, Victorian architecture and its role as a gateway to Bodmin Moor. Historically, it was a stannary town, meaning it was a centre for tin coinage and trade. The town flourished during the 19th-century copper boom and still showcases over 100 buildings designed by local architect Henry Rice. It’s also home to Stuart House, where King Charles I once stayed, and St Martin’s Church, one of Cornwall’s largest parish churches.

Liskeard is a small town, compact enough to explore on foot but has a wide range of amenities, including schools, shops, cafes and cultural sites. Its location between Bodmin Moor and the south coast makes it a great base for exploring both inland and coastal Cornwall.

Lots of picturesque villages surround Liskeard:

• St Cleer, known for its proximity to ancient stone circles and moorland walks.

• Dobwalls, a quiet village with easy access to the A38.

• Menheniot, with historic buildings and a strong community feel. 

• Pensilva, on the edge of Bodmin Moor and popular with walkers.
