A Lakeland Pilgrimage - 175 miles, 18,500m ascent, 2-3 weeks
Attempt an optional rock scramble, visit one of the ‘natural cathedrals’ or sleep out under the stars.
The route – the result of 20 years of exploration by one man, John Fleetwood – visits seven “natural cathedrals” – natural spires of rock that inspire awe in a way that man-made cathedrals struggle to match: Dove Crag, Great Gable, Pillar Rock, Scafell Crag, Dow Crag, Cathedral Cavern and Pike O Stickle.
It also takes in seven iconic places of reflection where the spirit is stilled and the surroundings imbue a sense of serenity and stillness.
Seven historic hostelries are to be found on the pilgrimage – places that have welcomed travellers over many years and have a rich history.
And of course there are many summits, tarns and magnificent viewpoints which form some of the very best of the Lake District and contribute to a richly diverse landscape.

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.
