Dobwalls (Cornish: Fos an Mogh) is a village in south-east Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated 3 mi (5 km) west of Liskeard.[1]

The name is spelt Dubwalls on Bartholomew's map and Black's Guide of 1879.

The A38 trunk road ran through the village until the bypass was opened on 19 December 2008.[2][3] The bypass has two of the most elaborate bat bridges built so far in the UK (previous examples in Wales being wooden posts with cables).[4] Twelve native species of bats are found in the area.[5]

Until 2006, the Dobwalls Adventure Park tourist attraction was located north of the village.
