Middlewood

Tucked into the valley of the River Lynher, Middlewood is a small, quietly picturesque village in the parish of North Hill, Cornwall. Lying along the B3254 between Launceston and Liskeard, the hamlet feels like a moment of calm on a country road, where the landscape and the river gently shape daily life. Hints of local history linger: Middlewood was once home to a Bible Christian chapel, a reminder of the community’s past rhythms and gatherings. Visitors passing through will find the scene unhurried and characterful, with the river valley offering a sense of shelter and continuity. Middlewood’s modest scale and location in the heart of Cornwall’s rolling countryside make it an appealing pause for those exploring the lanes between Launceston and Liskeard, a place where a short detour rewards with the simple pleasure of Cornwall’s rural landscape and a touch of local heritage.
