The Augustine Camino is a week long walking pilgrimage route from Rochester Cathedral to the Shrine of St Augustine in Ramsgate (the “ideal” church of leading Gothic Revival architect and designer of Big Ben, Augustus Pugin). It features living monasteries, cathedrals and village churches, visiting shrines to four of England’s greatest saints as well as the final resting place of the head of Thomas More.
Andrew Kelly (the founder of the Augustine Camino) will be leading a group along the Camino starting on Sunday 3rd of May in Rochester and ending in Ramsgate on Saturday 9th May. This will be an opportunity to experience the full pilgrimage with personal tours of all the important churches along the route and welcomes from clergy. There is no better way to appreciate the pilgrimage from a spiritual, historical, architectural and artistic point of view. Not to be missed.
