St Martin's Church

The church sits quietly on the edge of Liskeard, a proper working parish church that's been doing its job since medieval times. St Martin's isn't the flashiest building you'll clap eyes on - the exterior is straightforward stone and slate, the kind of thing you'd walk past without a second glance if you weren't looking for it. But step inside and there's genuine history tucked away: old memorials, decent stained glass, and the kind of peaceful atmosphere that makes you realise why people still come here on Sundays.

It's the sort of place history buffs will spend a solid twenty minutes poking around, reading inscriptions and spotting architectural details. Families with younger kids? They'll likely get restless quickly unless they're the type to enjoy a quiet moment. The real appeal is for anyone doing a proper walking tour of Liskeard's older bits - it makes sense as a stop when you're exploring the town centre, which sits just a few miles inland from Looe.

Admission appears to be free, though it's worth checking ahead on the website as opening hours aren't widely advertised. If you're camped at Lydcott Glamping or one of the spots near Looe - Waterside or the Caravan and Motorhome Club site - St Martin's is an easy fifteen-minute drive inland. Not a destination in itself, but a worthwhile half-hour detour if you're interested in Cornwall's quiet ecclesiastical side rather than the usual coastal tourist trail.
