Caradon is a local government district in Cornwall, UK. It contains five towns, Callington, Liskeard, Looe, Saltash and Torpoint, and over 80 villages and hamlets within 48 parishes. Its District Council is based in Liskeard.
The district was formed on April 1, 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, by the merger of the boroughs of Liskeard and Saltash with the urban districts of Looe and Torpoint, along with Liskeard Rural District and St Germans Rural District.
The district was named after Caradon Hill, the principal landmark of the area, and formerly the site of important copper mines.
