Cuddy’s Corse – Chester-le-Street to Durham Cathedral – 8 miles, 1 day
The pilgrimage route follows a riverside path from Chester-le-Street, then field edges up to Great Lumley, to the riverside Finchale Priory, home of the great 12-century pilgrim and hermit, St Godric. From Finchale the path passes by Frankland prison, and on to the riverside at Durham with views of the castle and cathedral. The river Wear is crossed by the ancient Framwellgate bridge, and then walk the medieval Silver street to the market square and Sadler street to Palace green, surrounded by the Castle, university and the Cathedral, where there is a pilgrimage gallery, countless holy treasures, and remains of three great spiritual beings – Saint Cuthbert, Saint Oswald and the Venerable Bede – are buried.
Northern Saints Trails also offer several day routes to Durham Cathedral from other directions, comprising the final day stages of each of these longer routes.

Discover holy places, and bring your own beliefs.
Pilgrimage by foot is connected with places and landscape, and how those places make you feel. Read about holy places.
At the British Pilgrimage Trust, we believe a pilgrimage should be made on an individual’s own terms. We are founded on the principle that we can all bring our own beliefs to the journey, accessible and welcoming to all.
