Pilgrimage and Walking

Pilgrimage and walking on Lundy

Walking, journeying & pilgrimage

Walking is at the heart of everything here. You can trace the paths of Lundy. You can follow the pilgrim routes of Portugal or nearer home in the UK. You might move slowly through landscape as a form of creative practice. These are writings about journeying with intention, curiosity, and open attention to place.
