St Just

St Just is the westernmost town in England, a former tin mining hub whose surrounding clifftops are dotted with the engine houses of Botallack and Levant, some of the most dramatic mining ruins in Cornwall. It has an unpolished feel, easy coast path access towards Cape Cornwall and some of the wildest, most remote scenery on the Cornish coast.

My video here explores St Just and the beautiful Kenidjack Valley.
