Manchester Cathedral Pilgrimage in a Day
Midlands

Manchester Cathedral Pilgrimage in a Day – 5.5 miles, 1 day
The route can start either at Eccles Train Station of Salford Central Train Station.
The route takes in St Mary's Church in Eccles, which was, in medieval times, the centre of a large ecclesiastical parish, and is of ancient origin and was the only church in the parish for several hundred years. A church has occupied its site since Norman times and probably before then. The church contains few remains of its earliest incarnation but the tower base and west end of the north aisle are from the 13th century.
A place of worship has existed on the site of Manchester Cathedral since the 7th century. Read more about the history of Manchester Cathedral here,
