St John's and Great Clifton is a ward located on the western edge of Workington, bordering the River Derwent. The area encompasses suburban residential streets alongside more open, semi-rural landscapes. Housing includes a mix of post-war developments and older terraced homes. The ward functions largely as a residential community for the wider town, with local amenities serving daily needs.

A notable feature is the presence of Clifton Park, a large green space with playing fields and a cricket club. The area's history is linked to the nearby Clifton Hall, a former manor house. Industrial heritage from the region's mining past subtly shapes parts of the landscape. The ward's western boundary follows the Derwent, providing views towards the Lake District fells.
