Liskeard
One of the four original stannary' towns, Liskeard is scenically tucked into some very pretty countryside. The old town offers some fine examples of Victorian properties, the clock tower at the Guildhall is well worth a visit. Wander around town, visit one of the many cafes and stock up on holiday goodies.

Siblyback Lake
Sailing, windsurfing and canoeing on a big expanse of mercifully calm water on Bodmin Moor.

The Hurlers and The Cheesewring
Take the opportunity of staying in this area to explore Bodmin Moor - a bleak wilderness quite unlike the traditional expectation of landscape in the West Country. The moor has many stone circles and standing stones, of which The Hurlers and The Cheesewring are two of the best known. From Minions, the highest village in Cornwall, just outside Liskeard, it is just a short distance to The Hurlers, three Bronze Age stone circles dating back to around 1500 BC. From here it is about a mile across the moor to The Cheesewring. So called because of its shape, The Cheesewring is a towering stack of a rock formation created by glaciation and weathering over thousands of years. A climb to the top provides breathtaking views into Devon in one direction and far into Cornwall in the other. As a reward, treat yourself to a cream tea back at The Hurlers Halt in Minions, known as the highest cafe in Cornwall.
