A1 St Just Mining District - Ranndir Balweyth Lannust
Mining on the edge of the earth
A stone’s throw from Land’s End, this is the most westerly Area of the Site. St Just is characterised by big skies, jagged rocks, and rugged moorland meeting iconic clifftop engine houses. Perched high above the Atlantic in some incredible locations; the engine houses on this stretch of coast, known as the “Tin Coast”, are some of the most famous. No wonder this dramatic setting has inspired generations of artists, writers, film makers and photographers.
‘This is the tin coast of Cornwall, the wild west of Kernow’.
