Doddycross

Doddycross is a small hamlet at a crossroads in the former Caradon district of southeast Cornwall. With fewer than fifty residents and just fourteen houses, it retains the intimate feel of a tiny rural community centred around a single postbox. Positioned roughly 16 miles (27 km) west of Plymouth, six miles (10 km) southeast of Liskeard and only 1.5 miles from the village of Menheniot, Doddycross sits quietly within reach of larger towns while preserving its modest scale. Here, a handful of homes cluster at a crossroads, offering a straightforward, unpretentious slice of Cornish life. Visitors passing through will notice the simplicity of the place — the houses, the lanes and that modest postbox — a reminder of how small settlements still thread the county together. Doddycross is for those drawn to understated corners of the landscape: compact, welcoming and unmistakably local in character.
