About this event
Saturday 19 March 2022 from 12:00 to 15:30
After two years, we are happy to announce that the annual pilgrimage from Finchale Priory to Durham Cathedral will take place on Saturday 19 March hosted by the Chairman of the County Council. The walk marks the historic link between St Godric, Finchale Priory and the Camino de Santiago de Compostela in Spain. St Godric of Finchale was one of the first British pilgrims to follow the pilgrims’ way to Santiago de Compostela. This year we will be joined at Finchale by those doing St Cuthbert’s Walk from Chester le Street.
Free transport to Finchale Priory for walkers is provided from Durham County Hall (DH1 5UL) at 12.00 noon, but pre-booking is essential.
The length of the walk is about 4 miles (6.7 km). A certificate will be available to all who complete the walk. This certificate is recognised by the Xacobeo and will allow all those doing the Camino Inglés from A Coruña in North Spain, to receive the Compostela (that certifies that the pilgrim has done at least 100 km of the Camino).
Please share news of this event with your colleagues and contacts who might be interested in joining the walk.
