The St Mark's Way was the northern Way of the Pilgrimage of Hope from Leeds Cathedral to St Barnabas' Cathedral in Nottingham via St Marie's Cathedral in Sheffield and the Chapel of the Padley Martyrs.

The Pilgrimage started on 6th September 2025 and reached Nottingham on 13th September. The pilgrims walked 105.9 miles and climbed 3,750 ft, the highest point being 1,388 ft. During the Pilgrimage Rowan Morton-Gledhill, perpetual pilgrim and Director of Communications for the Diocese of Leeds,  wrote a daily blog, accompanied by some wonderful photos.
