The Northampton Pilgrim Way is Ready to Walk!
The Way of Our Lady of Guadalupe
A Pilgrim Way from the Cathedral of Our Lady Immaculate & St Thomas of Canterbury in Northampton to the shrines at Great Billing and Bedford.
The route passes Turvey with its Abbey and Monastery and Emmaus Village Carlton. For much of the route the Way follows rivers. It is relatively flat.
In 1531, Our Lady is said to have appeared in Guadalupe, Mexico as the pregnant Mother of God to a peasant named Juan Diego. She left an image of her appearance on his cloak, which still exists in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. A replica of this image can be seen in the Church of the Holy Child & St Joseph in Bedford.
Resources for the inner and outer journeys, walking guidance and the GPX file are available on the Northampton page of this website.
