How it fits into a day in St Just

Nearby, St Just Library and Community Hub sits close to the square, while The Old Success Inn and Warren’s Bakery are also within the local area. You could pick up a pasty for a walk or stop for a meal later in the day. Then, if you want to head towards the coast, Land’s End Coastal Path Access Point is not far away.
