In the seventh century the little tidal island of Lindisfarne became a beacon of Christian learning and holiness, home to St Aidan and St Cuthbert, while at Whitby the great Abbess Hilda hosted the synod that shaped the English Church. Their story is written into Durham Cathedral, the abbeys of Whitby and Hexham, and the sands of Holy Island.
Led by Revd Kevin Dunne and — new for 2027 — based throughout at Ushaw Historic House, Chapels & Gardens, a magnificent estate near Durham, this gently paced five-day pilgrimage offers daily prayer, unhurried touring and time to reflect. Whether this is your first pilgrimage or a long-held hope finally fulfilled, you will find Northumbria a place of deep peace and living faith.
