Glastonbury Tor
The British Pilgrimage Trust is a charity dedicated to modernising the ancient practice of pilgrimage

We seek to connect people of all faiths and none to Britain’s rich cultural heritage and natural beauty.

From cathedrals and ancient trees to river sources, holy wells and standing stones, we invite everyone to embark on a personal journey that promotes holistic well-being through walking in the footsteps of our land's ancestors.

Pilgrimage heals our mind, body and soul and connects us to places, communities, history and landscapes, enriching our lives through the feelings they evoke.

We believe in making pilgrimages inclusive, allowing people to bring their own beliefs and make their journey for purely personal reasons.

Since our charity was founded in 2014, we have seen and heard how this ancient rite offers powerful solutions to modern life challenges by fostering personal growth and mental wellness through a deeper connection to nature and heritage.

We are dedicated to building and maintaining the most comprehensive library of pilgrimage routes and sacred places.  We have added many of these routes to Outdoor Active.  You can find more on our website here: https://www.britishpilgrimage.org/routes. 

We also connect a nationwide sanctuary network to provide low-cost sleeping accommodation to pilgrims. 

Please support our work. Your support helps us fund our work.
