St Just is a town and civil parish in the Penwith district of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It lies along the B3306 road which connects St Ives to the A30 road. The parish encompasses the town of St Just and the nearby settlements of Trewellard, Pendeen and Kelynack: it is bounded by the parishes of Morvah to the north-east, Sancreed and Madron to the east, St Buryan and Sennen to the south and by the sea in the west.
The town of St Just is the most westerly town in mainland Britain and is situated approximately 8 miles (13 km) west of Penzance along the A3071. St Just parish, which includes Pendeen and the surrounding area. St Just lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park. St Just is one of only two towns included within the Cornwall AONB.
The identity of Saint Just is not known. Cornwall's long resistance to the edicts of Canterbury and Rome makes it most unlikely that the saint was Archbishop Justus of Canterbury, as some sources claim.[citation needed] Another possibility is the 6th- or 7th-century Saint Iestyn, said to be the son of a ruler of Dumnonia.
Among the prehistoric antiquities nearby is Ballowall Barrow, a chambered tomb. St Just is one of the most ancient mining districts in Cornwall, and remains of ancient pre-industrial and more modern mining activity have had a considerable impact on the nearby landscape.
The parish church of St Just is a fine 15th-century building. In 1336 the church was rebuilt and dedicated by John Grandisson, Bishop of Exeter; however only the chancel of this church survives and the nave and aisles are 15th-century in date. There are two Methodist chapels. St Just is the home of Cape Cornwall School which also serves Sennen, Sancreed, Pendeen, St Buryan and other places in the district.
St Just is home to the popular Lafrowda festival a seven-day community and arts celebration usually held in Mid July. A more ancient celebration associated with the town is St Just Feast which is held every year to celebrate the dedication of the parish church in 13 July 1336. Feast celebrations were moved to the Sunday nearest to All Saints' Day in 1536 following an Act of Henry VIII which means it usually take place at the end of October / beginning of November. Feast itself is a two-day event with a church service and civic procession being held on Feast Sunday and a larger scale popular celebration being held on Feast Monday (which includes a meeting of the Western Hunt). A description of St Just Feast
St Just also has a 'Plen an Gwarry' (Cornish for playing place), locally pronounced 'Plain an Gwarry'. These sites were used historically for open-air performance, entertainment and instruction. St Just's Plen an Gwarry occasionally hosts productions of the Cornish Ordinalia mystery plays. St Just has a healthy artistic scene, including the painter Kurt Jackson who has made several television appearances. Contemporary singer and comedian Jethro from nearby St Buryan played for St Just Rugby Club and has recorded a song entitled St Just.

Epic Cornwall Wild camping Ballowall Barrow Cape Cornwall St Just Jack wolfskin gossamer tent SWCP
Last night i wild camped by the big waves of Maen dower. I walked along the South west coast path until Porth Nanven where i walked up valley for a bit from the coast path then headed back to Porth Nanven and back on the coast path. I had a look around Ballowall Barrow which i have been to a fair few times. After that i headed to Cape Cornwall still on the coast path. At Cape Cornwall i had a look around St Helen’s Oratory which i have been to many times before still i not video it before. After that it was a walk to St just to restock on food however the co op supermarket at the time was being made bigger the irony was because this is was smaller while they was building the add on. So not much choice in ST just food wise. I did get fish and chips which was fantastic only £5 and tasted great. Also got a pasty which was also fantastic. I walked though the mediæval amphitheatre in St just back towards the Library where i charged up my gear. Then i headed back to the coast path where i camped in a old quarry under Kenidjack Cliff Castle that night was 50mph gusts.
Ballowall Barrow is a prehistoric Neolithic to the Bronze Age funerary cairn (chambered tomb) The construction of the site is unique in consisting of a combination of Neolithic and Bronze age funerary
rituals.
Cape Cornwall Until the first Ordnance Survey, 200 years ago, Cape Cornwall was believed to be the most westerly point in Cornwall. The name Cape Cornwall appeared first on a maritime chart around the year 1600. The original Cornish name, Kilgodh Ust, has fallen out of use
St Helen’s Oratory - which date back as far as Roman times according to one observer, but i doubt very much. An ancient cross was discovered on the site but was sadly lost. The current cross on the chapel is one that was found nearby so it is said.
St just mediæval amphitheatre. is a large circular enclosure retained by a 2 metre high dry stone wall, with two entrances cut into the north and south-east sides. Despite the fact that it almost disappeared in the 19th century, St Just’s plain-an-gwarry survives today as a good example of a rare and distinctively Cornish monument
Kenidjack Castle is a multivallate hillfort .Two sets of triple ramparts with outer ditches have been built on the north east and south west sides. The northern ramparts are the best preserved and show the remains of stone revetting, with the inner one almost wholly built of stone. The outermost rampart of the southern set has been lost through erosion and landslip.

Ballowall Barrow
Ballowall Barrow, also known as Carn Gloose which is Cornish for Ballowall Barrow, is a prehistoric burial mound which shows evidence that it has been used in both Neolithic times and the Bronze Age.
The barrow was excavated in 1878 by William Copeland Borlase after he found it under debris from nearby Bosorne Mine. Some of the original site was destroyed and changed but it is still pretty much the same.
The barrow is well known for the piskies and the fairies who are said to haunt the barrow. The nearby mine is also well known for knockers.
Inside there are a number of tombs and one passage which goes right around the barrow. The main tomb is in the centre of the barrow which is in an enclosed room.
This is a very unique and rare barrow and it is hard to find something else like this in Cornwall or even Britain.

Porth Nanven
Porth Nanven is a beach in the Cot Valley near St Just-in-Penwith in Cornwall. The beach is on the Celtic Sea (part of the North Atlantic Ocean) and is owned by the National Trust. The beach is in between Nanquidno Cove (near Kelynack) and Priests Cove (at Cape Cornwall). The beach is well known for its geology and its boulders. They boulders have been referred to as Dinosaur eggs, giving the beach the nickname 'Dinosaur Egg Beach'. The most impressive part about the beach is the cliffs, which are made up of these dinosaur egg-like stones. These were formed around 120,000 years ago during a warm inter-glacial period. As the ice caps melted, the beach went upwards and the rocks in the cliff and rocks under the cliff is what is left of the prehistoric beach.
Porth Nanven is also known as Cot Valley Beach.
Lower Boscaswell Holy Well
Lower Boscaswell Holy Well, also known as Hesken Well, is a holy well at the side of a lawn outside a house in Lower Boscaswell, near Pendeen.
The well is rectangular with steps leading partly underground to water. When there has been a lot of rain, the well can sometimes become flooded with the water going up to the top of the steps. The well was once famous for its use of leeches for healing.

Best coast view wild camp Cuillin mountain view in the jack wolfskin gossamer tent
Filmed on the 31/05/2017 since then my video skills and equipment has improved alot :)
Skye Trail follows remote Glen Sligachan to the beautiful bay at Camasunary where there is an MBA bothy. From here a vertiginous cliff path with fantastic views across the water to the Cuillin reaches. Stage 5 does go all way to Elgol but i decided to wild camp at Glen Scaladal bay just before Elgol.
Pass Sligachan Hotel. cross the Dunvegan road and the old stone bridge, built by Thomas Telford and take the path up Glen Sligachan. You will pass Loch an Athain on the right and then the much large Loch na Creitheach. At Camasunary there is a bothy unforgettably there was a alcoholic there who thought he owned the place i was not going stay there anyway had enough of bothies now there retirement homes for alcoholics. After the bothy its on the coast path with truly magnificent views across the waters of Loch Scavaig to the Cuillin - often reckoned to be the finest coastal view in the British Isles. There is a short rocky section above a steep drop, and after a couple of kilometres the path passes above another steep cliff, at times perilously close to the edge. Take great care on this section as walkers have fallen here. Then is was a steep walk down to Glen Scaladal bay which is was i decided to wild camp just before Elgol
