Liskeard Castle, Medieval motte-and-bailey castle site in Liskeard, England.

The castle grounds, now known as Castle Park, occupy an elevated position overlooking the historic market town of Liskeard in Cornwall.

Richard of Cornwall constructed the fortification between 1230 and 1240, but by 1337 the castle structure had already fallen into disrepair.

The castle site served as a central administrative point for the region during medieval times, controlling local trade and maintaining social order.

The former castle location now functions as a public park, accessible through multiple pedestrian pathways from the town center of Liskeard.

Records from 1377 describe the structure as a manor house with surrounding walls, indicating its transformation from military fortress to residential building.
