Your impact

Britain’s pilgrim places – from churches to standing stones, cathedrals to ancient trees, river sources to holy wells – can be joined up by walking.

Pilgrimage heals our mind, body and soul, and connects us to places, communities, history and landscapes.

We invite everyone to set foot on a personal journey that promotes holistic wellbeing through walking in the footsteps of our ancestors.

We believe in making pilgrimages inclusive, allowing people to bring their own beliefs.
