Britain's
Pilgrim Places captures the
spirit of 2,000 years of history, heritage and wonder. It is the complete guide
to every spiritual treasure, including 500 enchanting holy places throughout
England, Wales and Scotland and covers all major pilgrimage routes.
Produced in collaboration with
The British Pilgrimage Trust, this book encapsulates the timeless quest of the human
spirit to find meaning, connection and peace.
Each listing is illustrated
in full colour and written and presented in a way that appeals to everyone.
From wild hermit islands to city-centre cathedrals alike, there is something to
surprise and enlighten anyone with a sense of the sacred.
2020 is the Year of the
Pilgrimage and the Year of Cathedrals, and events are being held throughout the
year to mark a revival in pilgrim places, cathedrals and free-form spiritual expression.
The British Pilgrimage Trust's mission is to harness the quiet but powerful resurgence
of interest in ancient ways of finding meaning and peace in the landscape.
Britain's
Pilgrim Places follows on from
best-selling Britain's Holiest Places which became a 6-part BBC television
series.
