This book captures the spirit of 2,000 years of history, heritage and wonder.

Produced by the British Pilgrimage Trust and Lifestyle Press Ltd (following the best-selling Britain’s Holiest Places in 2011), marking a revival of interest in pilgrim places, cathedrals and free-form spiritual expression. This book harnesses the current interest in ancient ways of finding meaning and peace in the landscape, and encapsulates the spirit of this popular connection to the past.

These are the stories of an entire culture of art and inspiration, written and presented in a way that appeals to everyone. The previous book produced by co-author Nick Mayhew-Smith became a 6-part BBC television series in 2013. Interest continues to grow in pilgrim routes, in ways to make meaningful connection to our natural and built heritage.

This book is a groundbreaking guide to the riches of the land, from wild hermit islands to city-centre cathedrals alike, it captures the timeless quest of the human spirit to connect with the stories of the landscape.

I wish to do a pilgrimage but I have a young family and can't leave them for more than a few days. Do you know if any short pilgrimages I could do or if I can do only part of a pilgrimage?
