Priest Cove
Priest Cove ((コーンウォール語:Porth Ust), meaning ''St Just's Cove'') or Priest’s Cove is a small cove one mile (1.6 km) west of St Just, Cornwall, UK.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 203 ''Land's End'' ISBN 978-0-319-23148-7〕 The name is from the Cornish ''Porth Ust'', the port or cove of St Just, which was shortened to ''Por’ Ust''. The cove lies next to Cape Cornwall which was also linked to St Just, being called ''Kilgoodh Ust'', meaning ''goose-back of St Just'', in the Cornish language.〔Weatherhill, C. (2007) ''Cornish Place Names and Language''. Ammanford: Sigma Press.〕 "Priest’s" is a spelling mistake on the Ordnance Survey and there is no connection with the clergy.〔Joseph, P. 2006. "Cape Cornwall Mine". ''British Mining''; No 79. Sheffield: Northern Mine Research Society, p. 111. ISBN 978-0-901450-60-9.〕 The cove and surrounding area is designated as part of the Aire Point To Carrick Du Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
Approximately out to sea are the Brisons, a pair of small islands to which an annual swim is held.
