The St Mary's Way
A Pilgrim Way from the Cathedral of St Peter in Lancaster to the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes in Cleator.
The walk was first completed over the summer of 2018 by Peter, Benedict, Jacob and Tony Robinson. All photographs on the page and in the booklet were taken by Benedict Robinson.
The magnificent 67 mile route takes in quiet canal side paths, the wide open views of Morecambe Bay, England's longest lake and a climb in the shadow of Lakeland’s highest mountains, finishing at the peaceful grotto built in honour of Our Lady of Lourdes in West Cumbria.
Resources for the inner and outer journeys, walking guidance and the GPX file can be found on the Lancaster (North) page of this website.
