Many people are inspired by the idea of going on a pilgrimage. TV series such as The Road to Rome and The Road to Santiago have shown that even the averagely unfit celeb can hobble through one. However, few of us have time for such long routes and, as we venture out again in post lockdown days, we may not want to spend many nights away from home. So what to do?
Pilgrim Pathways has the answer: The pilgrimages in this guidebook are achievable over one or two days. There are many ancient pilgrim paths in Britain, some long-forgotten and we offer routes inspired by the very best of them, distilled into short walks so you can be a weekend pilgrim.
These routes take in Britain's most inspiring landscapes and most powerfully spiritual places -- including Avebury, Glastonbury, Lindisfarne, Canterbury and St David's with pilgrimages in London, Sussex, Kent, Wiltshire, Cornwall, on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, Essex, East Anglia, Shropshire, Northumberland, Pembrokeshire, Snowdonia and in the Scottish Borders and Fife.
