Pilgrimage Walks with Let's Go Walking

The St Oswald's Way is 101 miles, 162 kms, long and one of UK's long distance way-marked walking trails.
The walking holiday begins on the Northumberland coast at the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, famous for its ruined abbey and fine castle, and follows the
St Cuthbert's Way
before heading back to the Northumberland coast to Warkworth via Bamburgh Castle. The walking trail then heads inland following the course of the River Coquet for a short distance. The hiking tour passes through the edge of the Northumberland National Park before meeting up with Hadrian's Wall Path.
This walking holiday is great hiking for visitors to the UK as it offers a taste of England's history; Roman, ancient, medieval and religious. The hiking route is a great first walking holiday as it is fairly easy walking and offers a wealth of interesting places to visit en-route.
The causeway to Holy Island is tidal and so this holiday is only available when the tides are favourable.

Holy Island, Lindisfarne, is one of western Europe's most important Christian sites. The first abbey on the site dates back to 635AD. The priory that now stands in ruins dates back to the 11th century. The castle on the island dates back to Henry VIII, is now run by the National Trust and well worth a visit.
