The Clifton Pilgrim Way is Ready to Walk!
The Way of Our Lady of Glastonbury
The Clifton Diocese Way has been walked by Phil McCarthy, the Hearts in Search of God Project Lead.
A Way is from the Cathedral of SS Peter & Paul in Clifton, Bristol to the Diocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Glastonbury.
The Way leaves Bristol over the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge, then through parkland and beside the ring road until it climbs to Dundry. The path then descends to Chew Magna, where the Church of the Sacred Heart is visited. The Way passes on over the Mendips to reach the Church of SS Joseph & Teresa at Wells and Wells Cathedral. The route continues, following the Monarch’s Way over quiet countryside to reach the site of the martyrdom of the Blessed Richard Whiting, the last Abbot of Glastonbury, at the spectacular Glastonbury Tor. There is a final descent to reach the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey and the Shrine of Our Lady of Glastonbury in the Church of St Mary.
Resources for the inner and outer journeys, walking guidance and the GPX file are available from the Clifton page on this website.
