• Cross the tidal flats to the Holy Isle in Lindesfarne on the St Cuthbert's Way

Following a historic pilgrimage trail can be a personal or spiritual journey of significance. More than just a simple walk, what makes any pilgrimage special is the sense of history & importance, the people you meet, the stories you share, and the challenges that you overcome. The "French Way" Camino de Santiago is the ultimate "bucket list" walk for many, but there are other routes to Santiago, and many other pilgrimages, like these, around the world.
