And, while nothing beats the full experience, it can also be split and walked at a contemplative pace in three two-day sections: Bath to Frome, with an overnight stay at Freshford Frome to Wells, overnight at Doulting and Wells to Glastonbury, overnight at Glastonbury, allowing a day to look around, including the half-day loop to visit Wearyall Hill and Bride’s Mound.īATH is a natural place to start this pilgrimage: the thermal springs come from deep in the earth to relax the body and prepare the muscles for walking.

Its 55 miles offers five or six inspiring days of watery contemplation and encounter. This route, devised in 2020 by the British Pilgrimage Trust (BPT) to provide a modern pilgrimage route in Somerset, links the ancient holy springs of Bath, via rivers and streams, to the mineral outflows at the foot of Glastonbury Tor, a place of pilgrimage for more than 10,000 years. Sacred waters, prehistoric monuments, a cathedral, and exotic Christian folklore: the Glastonbury Water Way has it all. Glastonbury Water Way – Bath, Frome, Wells & Glastonbury – 55 miles – 6 days.
