After more than a decade of Tamar Dowsers’ visits to places of interest in our area, we are still being presented with ‘hidden gems’ - and the latest is a hidden diamond. Not that the hamlet of Caradon Town is hidden from anyone - it’s just not on the way to anywhere significant. Half a mile off the Liskeard to Launceston road, and barely five from the English Border as the chough flies, Caradon Town has the air of a place that time has passed by. Yet, both our contacts and our dowsing showed that a great deal has happened here, both in the distant past and in more recent decades.
