The last stop on my U.K. pilgrimage, a visit to the tomb of St. Edward the Confessor at Westminster Abbey, the final resting place of Darwin, Chaucer, Livingstone, Newton, and Hawking. One of my all-time faves!

Founded by Celtic St. Aiden of Iona around 634 AD, Lindisfarne Priory was perhaps the most important point of Christian evangelism and learning in northern Britain. Home to St. Cuthbert, the priory produced gilded manuscripts, the most famous of which is known as the Lindisfarne Gospels. The ruins of the priory date to the 12th century.

For months, thoughts of Holy Island have occupied my mind. And now, I have arrived. The walk across the sands during the receding tide at sunrise was powerfully moving and will stay with me for the rest of my life.

At the recommendation of my friend Kevin Considine, I hiked up the White Cliffs of Dover. Breathtaking!

Scenes from the Via Francigena from Shepherdswell to Coldred. Onwards to Dover!

From Canterbury to Shepardswell on the Via Francigena, including St. Mary’s Patrixbourne and St. Margaret’s Womenswold. Beautiful walk along the North Downs Way with a few run-ins with curious “locals”.
