The Southwark Pilgrim Way is Ready to Walk!
Phil McCarthy • March 8, 2023
The Romero Way, the Becket Way and the Augustine Camino
The Southwark Pilgrim Way is made up of three sections:
The Romero Way is from Southwark Catholic Cathedral to Southwark Anglican Cathedral. It has been walked by the Hearts in Search of God Project Lead Phil McCarthy
The Becket Way is from Southwark Anglican Cathedral to Aylesford Priory. It is a well established route with a guidebook written by Leigh Hatts and published by Cicerone.
The Augustine Camino is also a well established pilgrim way from Aylesford Priory to Ramsgate via Faversham and Canterbury.
Resources for the inner and outer journeys and details of how to find the walking guidance and GPX files can be found on the Southwark Pilgrim Ways pages of this website.
