Pilgrimage of Hope – St Mark’s Way

Leeds to Nottingham – 106 miles – 10-12 days

One of four routes making up the Pilgrimage of Hope and all ending at St Barnabas’ Cathedral in Nottingham. This route is the northern arm from Leeds Cathedral to St Barnabas' Cathedral in Nottingham via St Marie's Cathedral in Sheffield and the Chapel of the Padley Martyrs.

St Mark's Icon

The route is named after St Mark but the designated patron saint is St Hilda of Whitby (c. 614 – 680), abbess and key figure in the Anglo-Saxon Church. Hilda founded and was the first abbess of the monastery at Whitby which was the venue for the Synod of Whitby in 664. She was widely recognised for her wisdom and learning and trained five bishops. Her feast is celebrated on 17th November.

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.
