This enchanting 70-mile pilgrim route
starts from North Berwick on the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh, and
continues via Whitekirk’s 12th century church to Dunbar.
It follows the
North Sea coastline to the stunning scenery of St Abb’s Head and visits
Coldingham Priory, perhaps Scotland’s most important Benedictine
monastery.
Enjoy impressive cliffs and dramatic sea stacks between
visits to historic fishing villages. Cross the border and enter Berwick
with its ramparts, walls and bridges across the River Tweed.
The route
culminates with a barefoot crossing of the Holy Island sands to
Lindisfarne, where St Aidan founded a monastery in AD 635.
Most
people will complete the route within 5 to 8 days, staying in friendly
B&Bs along the route, but it can also be done in several shorter
expeditions using train and bus.
