Liskeard became a boom town during the 1800s as the copper, lead, silver and arsenic mines developed.  As both the wealth and the population of the town grew, grand houses and poorer areas  were built, and Liskeard became a thriving community.  Liskeard was a "stannary", a tin mining town.

Liskeard was a market town, and to this day you can see the original Victorian shop fronts, the Guild Hall, Clock Tower and Town Hall.  Visit Liskeard and District Museum, and the Ancient Pipe Well.  Stroll round Westbourne Gardens for a quite relaxing walk.  A Mural in Pigmeadow Lane, and other murals located around the town, show pictorially, the history of LIskeard and the surrounding area of South East Cornwall from the earliest of times, and including the Industrial Revolution, the coming of the railways and impact socially and politically on the people of the area.

Nearby you will find the  seaside towns of Looe and Polpero, with their secret, hidden coves, or you can travel from Liskeard up to Bodmin Moor.
