St Theodore's Way, Salford to Clitheroe - 43 miles, 4 days
A pilgrimage to honour Theodore of Tarsus for his role in unifying the English Church in the 7th Century
The Catholic Diocese of Salford was one of the first to be established post-reformation in 1852 and was of particular service to the Irish migrants fleeing the Great Irish Famine around that time. This 43 mile pilgrimage makes use of a number of other long distance paths north of Salford to bring the pilgrim eventually to Theodore House, a renovated mill and place of Christian study and retreat.
The route is named after Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury from 668 to 690, who helped unify the English Church after the Synod of Whitby and successfully promoted Anglo-Saxon scholarship.
The route passes through a mix of terrain from canal tow paths, suburban walking in places, farmland, footpaths and quiet roads.
