Pilgrimage (n.): A journey with purpose on foot to holy/wholesome/special places.

 

Britain’s holy places are all connected by green lanes and public footpaths via a rediscovered network of ancient British pilgrim routes.

 

Pilgrimage is for everyone, promoting holistic wellbeing via pilgrim practices and connecting you with yourself, others, nature and everything beyond.

 

To turn a walk into a pilgrimage, at the beginning set your private ‘intention’ – dedicate your journey to something that you want help with, or for which you want to give thanks.
