Walsingham Way (Part 2)

The Walsingham Way Group will be launching a pilgrimage route from King’s Lynn to Walsingham outside the Minster at 12pm on Saturday 6^th June. There will be several speeches and refreshments, followed by the option at 1.30pm of walking the first three miles of the route from the Minster to St Mary’s, South Wootton, where further refreshments will be provided. All are welcome.

The King’s Lynn-Walsingham Way is the second part of the Walsingham Way, the first part – the Norwich-Walsingham Way – having already been established. The route starts at King’s Lynn Minster and takes us through Lynn, the Woottons, Castle Rising, Sandringham, Anmer, Great Bircham, South Creake, North Barsham and Walsingham. It is 29 miles long. The halfway point is Great Bircham.

It is a route designed for those wishing to reenact the route taken by Hanseatic and English pilgrims in the medieval period, for those who wish to visit the historic sights like the Norman Castle Rising Castle or the angel-roofed St Mary’s, South Creake, or simply those who wish to take exercise for improving their mental health.
