    Medieval Heritage and Pilgrimage Walks

    Medieval Heritage and Pilgrimage Walks Cleveland Way Trail: walk the 3 miles from Rievaulx Abbey, Yorkshire to Helmsley Castle and tread in the footsteps of medieval Pilgrims along what’s now part of the Cleveland Way Trail. Camino de Santiago/Way of St James, Spain: along with trips to the Holy Land and Rome, this is the most famous medieval pilgrimage trail of all, and the most well-travelled in medieval times, at least until the advent of Black Death. Its destination point is the spot St James is said to have been buried, in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Today Santiago is one of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites. Read more . the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela holds a Pilgrims’ Mass every day at noon. Walk as much or as little of it as you like. Follow the famous scallop shell symbols. A popular starting point, both today and in the Middle Ages, is either Le Puy in the Massif Central, France OR the famous medieval Abbey at Cluny, near Paris. The Spanish start is from the Pyrenees, on to Roncevalles or Jaca. These routes also take in the Via Regia and/or the Camino Frances. The Portuguese way is also popular: from the Cathedrals in either Lisbon or Porto and then crossing into Falicia/Valenca. At the end of the walk you receive a stamped certifi cate, the Compostela. To achieve this you must have walked at least 100km or cycled for 200. To walk the entire route may take months. Read more . The route has inspired many TV and fi lm productions, such as Simon Reeve’s BBC2 ‘Pilgrimage’ series (2013) and The Way (2010), written and directed by Emilio Estevez, about a father completing the pilgrimage in memory of his son who died along the Way of St James.

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.

It was that the Kings of England, all the way from the Norman Conquest down to the times of Charles 1., had actually, in a good degree, so far as they knew, been in the habit of appointing as Peers those who deserved to be appointed. In general Iperceived those Peers of theirs were all Royal men of a sort, withminds fullof justice, valour and humanity, and all kinds of qualities that men ought to have who rule over others.

  • Visitor Information

    Visitor Information

    VISITOR INFORMATION Embleton is a rural village on the north Northumberland coast in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is situated on a ridge overlooking the lovely wide Embleton Bay. For residents it is a thriving village community with a wide variety of groups/clubs and facilities to interest people of all ages. The combination of long sandy beaches and beautiful countryside make it a pleasant and safe environment for family life. For people wishing to visit this beautiful corner of Northumberland, Embleton and Christon Bank provide an excellent base from which to access many of the local attractions. Christon Bank is a quieter location, being slightly inland and just off the main roads to Seahouses and Alnwick. Those who favour walking can enjoy coastal walks for many miles along the fabulous sandy beaches and over the dunes with their plethora of different wild flowers and plants, or through the glorious countryside. Alternatively you may prefer to follow the walks in our Heritage Trails book, taking in historic sites along the way. This book appears in our Publications page and may be purchased locally for a modest price. If historic castles are more to your liking, the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle can be easily reached from Embleton and Craster just to the south, and the fine, restored and still lived-in castle at Bamburgh a few miles to the north is well worth the visit. Of course, there is also Alnwick castle and the world famous gardens just six miles away or, a little further afield, Chillingham castle with its creepy dungeon of horrors and beautifully laid out rooms, some of which are still used.
