St. Just in Cornwall, England is one of the most westerly towns on the mainland, set on granite moorland with dramatic clifftops a short walk from Land's End and Cape Cornwall. It grew around a rich mining landscape of tin and copper, and the ruined engine houses and local mining museum at Geevor Tin Mine are reminders of its industrial past; the whole area is part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape UNESCO World Heritage site.

The town has a lively community spirit with a strong Cornish identity, small galleries and craft shops, and events such as the annual Lafrowda arts festival. Today the economy mixes tourism, farming and small-scale fishing, and visitors come for coastal walks, prehistoric sites and the austere beauty of Penwith’s landscape as much as for its history.
