Bespoke Pilgrimage Routes
You are not a mass-produced human.
Your pilgrimage route should be as individual as you.
Bespoke Pilgrimage Routes created by a pathmaker with 20+ years experience
I have worked on the practical intricacies of pilgrimage design for over 20 years.
Re-discoverer and designer of The Old Way Pilgrimage (Southampton to Canterbury) as well as many other routes (The Turtle Dove Way, The Morgana Way, The Pilgrimage to Scarborough Fair, Willesden to Walsingham, 7 Ways to Canterbury, 7 Ways to Oxford etc.).
For weddings, festivals, birthdays - almost every occasion can be improved by pilgrimage.
For hotels, restaurants, galleries - makes your venue the centre of a path for seekers to follow, a destination at which people can truly arrive.
Bespoke Pilgrimage Routes for Individuals
Home to Holy Place (& back again)
The oldest tradition of British pilgrimage is to start at home, and return there. I can design your pilgrimage to and from your home, so you can start as you mean to go on, and make a fully footbound journey.
Seek the Sacred That Suits You
Not every British pilgrim seeks the same holy places. Perhaps you love holy wells, ancient trees, or Medieval churches? Perhaps you seek ancient hillforts and places where grear books were written? Whatever layer of Britain’s sacred landscape you seek, I can help you find it.
A Route That Fits your Budget
Finding accommodation options to fit what you can afford is a challenge for all pilgrims. Do you want campsites, spa-hotels, church porches or wild woodlands? Your bespoke route will incorporate this vital layer of planning.
A Path Tailored to Your Needs
Is your pilgrimage to be walked in stages, requiring transport links? Do you want to walk very long, or very short daily distances? With close personal consultation, your route can be tailored precisely the way you need it.
Pilgrimage For Venues, Events and Businesses
Encouraging people to arrive to your space as pilgrims offers measurable environmental and social boons, reducing car travel and the requirement for parking, as well as enhancing the physical and mental wellbeing of your attendees and customers. For festivals, there is also an economic benefit to people turning up without much stuff!
If you have a hotel, restaurant, art gallery, festival or experience site, providing a pilgrimage route transforms your venue into a sought-after holy place. When people arrive on foot, after a journey through holy places in the landscape, they truly arrive.
Gain the kudos of the path, and take your place at the centre of the labyrinth!
Pilgrimage is also a very story-worthy adjunct for a project and event, one the newspapers like to tell!
