There are many places around the UK that you can walk as a pilgrimage. I have walked a few. Yet Lundy makes and ideal pilgrimage with it’s quietness and remoteness that make it idea for a Pilgrimage. You can either travel over for the day or stay for a few days. Which ever you chose read this little book before you go. The book also serves as a Passport for the special stamp you can get when completing your pilgrimage.

A part of pilgrimage is to tune into your senses. You will find prompts in the book to help you with this.

The Lundy pilgrimage route

The route I have used for the Pilgrimage, is a journey around the whole Island. The walking route visits several places. These include Christie’s Quay, St Helen’s Copse, Knights Templar rock, and Virgin Springs. It also goes to The Hand of God, The Apostle Stones, and Beacon Hill burial ground. Finally, it passes through St Johns Valley and ends at St Helen’s church.

Getting to Lundy

You can come by boat for the day. There is only time to walk this Pilgrimage on a Bideford sailing. Arrive in the morning and leave in the afternoon. It starts early in the morning and leaves later in the afternoon. Or, You can book to stay on the campsite. Your camping gear will be taken up to the campsite for you.
