Liskeard (generally pronounced Lis-KARD, with stress on the second syllable) , is an ancient
stannary and
market town at the head of the
River Looe valley in the ancient hundred of
West Wivelshire in southeast
Cornwall,
United Kingdom. Located 14 miles (22.5 km) west of the
Tamar river, it is the base of the
Caradon District Council. It still has a town council. Within easy reach to the south of Liskeard are the coves and resorts of the south Cornish coast, whilst the vast rugged expanse of
Bodmin Moor lies to the north. By-passed by but immediately adjacent to the A38 the town is accessible but peaceful and has low traffic levels.
