Lincoln Cathedral Pilgrimage in a Day – 9-11 miles, 1 day

Linear Route

Lincoln ‘Journeys of Faith’ series from Coleby, 9-11 miles, 1 day

From Coleby (Google Map red line) - 9 miles

From Navenby (Google Map green line) – 11 miles

Walk the Viking Way along the Dragon’s Back of the Lincoln Ridge in a straight line to the Cathedral. In a short distance visit a high density of churches, interspersed with stunning views atop the ridge across the flat landscape below. At the end of the ridge, descend to enter the city of Lincoln following the same line of direction, but this time passing through the medieval borough of Wigford, visiting three more medieval churches. Then, finally enter Lincoln through its medieval gate and climb the winding ‘Steep Hill’ to arrive at the Cathedral, hopefully in time for Evensong…

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.
