Pilgrimage in Europe is thriving on a massive scale, and this book follows the classic "Camino", and nine other inspirational journeys across Europe. Whether you're truly making a pilgrimage, exploring the world, or simply hiking, Pilgrimage will lead you along deeply historical routes, such as the Jakobsweg in Germany, between the old Roman towns of Cologne and Trier. You'll find great walks in Britain and France, such as St. Cuthbert's Way, which winds around the Scottish Borders to the holy island of Lindisfarne, and the World Heritage Site of Mont-Saint-Michel built on the tiny island off the coast of Normandy. Astounding photographs combine with an absorbing text that describes the history and key features of each route, as well as brief details of the distances and the number of days it takes to walk, and a list of websites to help plan your journey.
