context_page_description: St Buryan is a civil parish and village in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.
  The village of St Buryan is situated approximately 5 miles west of Penzance along the B3283 towards Land's End. Three further minor roads also meet at St Buryan, two link the village with the B3315 towards Lamorna, and the third rejoins the A30 at Crows-an-Wra.
  St Buryan parish encompasses the villages of St. Buryan, Lamorna, and Crows-an-Wra and shares boundaries with the parishes of Sancreed and St Just to the north, Sennen and St Levan to the west, with Paul to the east and by the sea in the south. An electoral parish also exists stretching from Land's End to the north coast but avoiding St Just. The population of this ward at the 2011 census was 4,589.
  Named after the Irish Saint Buriana, the parish is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty and is a popular tourist destination. It has been a designated conservation area since 1990 and is near many sites of special scientific interest in the surrounding area.
  The parish is dotted with evidence of Neolithic activity, from stone circles and Celtic crosses to burial chambers and ancient holy wells.
context_section_description: Commercial activity in St Buryan centres around Churchtown where a well stocked village store, run under a Londis franchise and housing an ATM cashpoint, plus a post office, an antiques shop and the St Buryan Inn are located. There is also a garage at the eastern end of the village that runs a limited coach service. St Buryan Farm Shop, on the outskirts of the village between St Buryan and Crows an Wra opened in August 2018 providing home grown Vegetables, home reared and local meats in the butchery counter, pasties and other baked good made on site, there is also a cafe area and children's play area onsite with large off-road parking area.
  The village was also previously served by its own butchers shop, this was closed in 1990 due to combination of the economic recession and pressure from the recently opened Safeway(now Morrisons) supermarket in nearby Penzance. A doctor's branch surgery is currently held in the village cricket pavilion every Thursday between twelve and one pm. At other times patients must travel to the surgery in nearby St Just, the West Cornwall hospital in Penzance or the Royal Cornwall Hospital, Truro.
