About

Liskeard South & Dobwalls ward lies in the eastern reaches of Cornwall, centred around the historic market town of Liskeard and the neighbouring village of Dobwalls. The area is characterised by a mix of residential neighbourhoods and surrounding agricultural land, with the A38 trunk road providing a major transport link through the landscape. The topography is gently rolling, typical of this part of the Cornish countryside, with wooded valleys and fields defining the outskirts of the communities.

The ward includes the southern sections of Liskeard town itself, along with the distinct settlement of Dobwalls to the west. A notable local feature is the Golitha Falls on the River Fowey, a series of cascades within a National Nature Reserve of ancient woodland. The area functions as a local service centre for surrounding rural parishes, with a focus on community facilities and daily needs rather than tourism, maintaining a quiet, residential character.
