MOORSWATER, a village in the E of Cornwall; 4 miles W of Liskeard. It stands among orchards, in a wooded valley, at a nexus of canal and railway, communicating between the Caradon copper mines and the Cheesewring granite quarries on the one hand and the Port of Looe on the other; and it has paper mills. The valley is spanned by a very long railway viaduct, 150 feet high, supported on tapering piers of stone, and extending from hill to hill.
