About the proposed route

The Way leaves Swansea heading north along the New Cut to reach the Shrine of Divine Mercy at the Church of the Sacred Heart in Morriston. The Way heads west to join and follow disused railway line to reach the Wales Coast Path. The way reaches the Church of Our Lady Queen of Peace at Llanelli and then the Church of Our Lady Star of the Sea at Burry Port. The route crosses Pembry Forest to reach the Church of Our Lady & St Cadoc at Kidwelly, and then continues along the coast to reach Ferryside where the River Towey is crossed by ferry. The Holywell is a short walk south of the village of Llansteffan. 


A second pilgrimage can be made by following the Wales Coast Path from the historic Cathedral of St David in St Davids, via the Holy Well of his mother St Non, to Newport, visiting the Church of St Mary and then the ruins of the Abbey of St Dogmael and reaching the Welsh National Shrine of Our Lady of the Taper in Cardigan.

ABOUT THE DIOCESE OF MENEVIA

With the re-establishment of the Catholic hierarchy of England & Wales in 1850 the diocese of Newport and Menevia was set up. Boundaries were changed in 1895, when the diocese of Newport was redefined as comprising the counties of Glamorgan, Monmouth and Hereford. In 1916 the Cardiff Province was established, comprising the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Cardiff with the diocese of Menevia as a suffragan see.


Since 1897, Menevia diocese had included most of Wales, and this presented a variety of difficulties which led Archbishop Ward of Cardiff and Bishop James Hannigan of Menevia to petition Rome for a third diocese which happened in 1987 when the Diocese of Wrexham was established.
