Hadrian’s Wall Pilgrims’ Way: Housesteads to Corbridge – 2 days, 23 miles
Start on a wild hilltop at Housesteads Roman Fort, where ‘Hooded Gods’ were worshipped.
Follow the Hadrian’s Wall Path and take in its astonishing views before coming to Carrawburgh Roman Fort, adjacent to the Temple dedicated to the god of light, Mithras. Make a wish here by leaving coins on the altars, and then walk on to Chesters Roman Fort to discover artefacts from the well of the water nymph Coventina.
From there you come to St Oswald’s Church, Heavenfield, on the site where Oswald erected a wooden cross at which he knelt before the Battle of Heavenfield. Next is the 7th-century Hexham Abbey, before reaching your destination of Corbridge, with its 7th-century church and Roman Town.

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.
