Through the Local Heritage Initiative, Stuart House Trust was awarded grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Nationwide Building Society for a project to raise awareness of the built, archaeological and industrial heritage of Liskeard town centre. A suitable wheel/pushchair accessible route around the heritage area was identified. Large map/information boards and finger post signs were designed and manufactured, and erected at strategic places in the town. A Trail map was designed, showing a birds-eye view of the town, along with a description of the route and of the heritage buildings. Multilingual versions of the map text were commissioned. Two childrens' guides/activity booklets also were designed

The trail map and guides

The self-guide map of Liskeard Heritage Trail is available free from Stuart House or from the Museum in Pike Street. Also available are two childrens' trail/activity booklets. Leaflets with the text of the trail guide translated into french, german, spanish and italian can be obtained. Guided walks around the Heritage Trail are organised from time to time; see the 'Diary' page for details of any upcoming walks. Guided walks can also be arranged for groups. These can optionally include a tour around Stuart House itself, and refreshments. Please discuss requirements with the House Manager initially

The original handpainting of the trail map was done by local artist Brian Hoskin. Mounted copies of his artwork may be purchased from Stuart House in either A2 or A3 size.
