Description
An evocative and expert exploration of ten of western Europe’s greatest Pilgrim trails, many of which follow ancient routes walked by Christian pilgrims for hundreds of years; linking ancient Christian churches, shrines and holy sites across the Continent. Atmospheric colour photography accompanies the reader to bring you the landscapes and sights of each fascinating route. Discover the 62 miles of St Cuthbert's Way, which wends from Melrose Abbey in the Scottish Borders to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne Holy Island, taking five days to walk; or Les Chemins du Mont-Saint-Michel, traversing 205 miles from Rouen to Mont-Saint-Michel in 15 days. Culminating in the epic 1200-miles of the Via Francigena, from Calais to Rome in 90 days. Criss-crossing France, Spain, Germany, Italy and Great Britain, follow the highlights of each route in words and pictures. With suggestions for websites to help plan your own walking adventures, the book offers inspiration for long-distance hikers and armchair travellers alike.
