St. Juliot is a civil parish located in Cornwall, England. It is a small rural community situated near the coast, with stunning views of the surrounding countryside and coastline. The parish is named after the historic church of St. Juliot, which dates back to the 12th century and is a prominent feature in the area.

The parish is known for its picturesque landscapes, including rolling hills, lush fields, and rugged cliffs overlooking the sea. It is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, with plenty of walking and hiking trails to explore.

St. Juliot is also famous for its connections to the renowned author Thomas Hardy, who visited the area in the 1870s and fell in love with the local vicarage. Hardy later used the vicarage as the setting for his novel "A Pair of Blue Eyes", which helped put St. Juliot on the map as a literary destination.

Today, St. Juliot remains a charming and peaceful community, with a mix of traditional stone cottages and modern homes. Visitors can enjoy the tranquility of the countryside, explore the historic church, and take in the breathtaking views of the Cornish coastline.
