St Just is a great place to start a hike to the coast. You can catch the bus here, or there is plenty of parking. Plus, not only do you get to enjoy the stunning south west coast path, but also some of the most picturesque reminders of Cornwall's tin mining industry.
Before your hike, pop into the butchers to pick up some of their exceptional pasties which you can carry with you for lunch. Once back in town, try The Commercial for dinner or fish and chips in the square.

Running

St Just is a great place to start a run to the coast. You can catch the bus here, or there is plenty of parking, or why not make it your base for exploring the most westerly part of Cornwall. Not only do you get to enjoy the stunning south west coast path, but also some of the most picturesque reminders of Cornwall's tin mining industry.
After your run, be sure to pop into the butchers to pick up one of their exceptional pasties or try The Commercial for dinner or fish and chips in the square.

Hiking

A lovely authentic stone built Cornish village. Lots of great places to eat & drink. Can highly recommend the Cornish pasties from McFadden butchers in the village square 😉😉
