About Fountains Way Autumn Pilgrimage

Join us for a special 7.5 mile pilgrimage following The Curlew Way through beautiful North Yorkshire countryside

This guided walk combines stunning Yorkshire landscapes, rich heritage, wildlife and moments of reflection, creating an experience that nourishes both body and soul.

Starting in the beautiful early 20th Century St Cuthbert and St Oswald’s Church, Winksley, pilgrims will pass through rolling farmland in Lower Nidderdale, visiting Laverton, Kirkby Malzeard and Galphay, before returning to Winksley for a cream tea. There will be opportunities for pausing, reflection and discovering something of the stories of those who have worshipped here before us.

Whether you come for a spiritual journey, the chance to connect with nature, the fascinating local history, or simply the joy of walking with others, the Fountains Way Autumn Pilgrimage offers a memorable day out.
