The Hallam Pilgrim Way is Ready to Walk!

Phil McCarthy • March 8, 2023

The Padley Martyrs Way

The Way is from the Cathedral of St Marie in Sheffield to the Diocesan Shrine of the Chapel of the Padley Martyrs at Upper Padley.


The Chapel is on the site of Padley Hall where Frs. Nicholas Garlick and Robert Ludlum were arrested on the charge of being Catholic priests. They were taken to Derby and executed there in July 1588.


The route passes the Anglican Sheffield Cathedral and then heads through the University of Hallam area to exit the City along Porter Brook through Endcliffe Park. After passing the Norfolk Arms at Ringinglow the route ascends Houndkirk Moor and then descends beside Burbage Brook to reach Upper Padley and the Martyrs Chapel in the Hope Valley. 


 Resources for the inner and outer journeys as well as walking guidance and the GPX file are available on the Hallam page of this website.
