St Just Sites, located in Cornwall, England, is a collection of heritage sites that hold significant historical and cultural importance. The area encompasses various locations, including ancient settlements, historic mines, and remnants of industrial infrastructure.

One of the prominent features of St Just Sites is the ancient settlement of Chun Castle. Dating back to the Iron Age, this hillfort offers a glimpse into the region's early history. With its well-preserved earthworks and fortifications, visitors can explore the site and imagine life during this period.

The area also boasts several remnants of the once-thriving mining industry. Levant Mine and Beam Engine, a UNESCO World Heritage site, showcases the mining heritage of Cornwall. The preserved engine house and mining structures provide insight into the industry's technology and the challenging working conditions faced by miners.

Another notable site in St Just is Cape Cornwall. This headland offers breathtaking views of the rugged coastline and is home to the Cape Cornwall Mine complex. Here, visitors can explore the ruins of the former tin and copper mine, which operated during the 19th century.

St Just Sites provide visitors with a unique opportunity to delve into Cornwall's rich history and heritage. Whether it's exploring ancient settlements, learning about the region's industrial past, or simply enjoying the stunning natural landscapes, this collection of sites offers something for everyone interested in Cornwall's cultural legacy.

Ballowall Barrow This Bronze Age barrow was excavated (and radically altered) in 1878 by Cornish antiquarian William Borlase. The internal walls were rebuilt by him which has unfortunately affected the way it is perceived. It is however an evocative site in a stunning location.

Ill fated Cargodna shaft and Crowns Engine houses, Botallack Probably the most photographed area in the south west has a sad story attached. The square collar in the foreground is Cargodna shaft, perched halfway down the cliff side. It was here on Tuesday, Jan 10th 1893, 20 miners were drowned after, it is believed, they accidentally holed through to flooded abandoned workings of the adjacent Wheal Drea. This is the shaft they descended on that fateful morning. Because Wheal Owles and Drea were now linked, these flooded combined workings held an immense lake of water and despite local efforts to pump this out, the operation failed and their bodies still remain in this water filled under world. There is a memorial table attached to the shaft collar wall in remembrance of them.

The Brisons The twin peaks of The Brisons are 22m (72&#039;) and 27m (89&#039;) high. They lie about a mile southwest of Cape Cornwall. The gap between the rocks is called the Adgiwar Gap.
