Europe's Forgotten Pilgrim Routes
In the Middle Ages, the horrifying murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket of Canterbury led thousands of pilgrims to the south of England. Centuries later, the long-forgotten Pilgrims' Way is now enjoying a revival. The Pilgrim´s Way leads east to west cross-country from Winchester to Canterbury through the counties of Hampshire, Surrey and Kent. Along the way, modern pilgrims discover traces of the past and the pristine beauty of the land. They meet people who want to preserve England's rich natural treasures and traditions for the future.
