Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- Hello :) Join me on my first ever pilgrimage from this July where I walked 23 miles across Shropshire along the abbesses way. This route started in Much Wenlock Priory all the way to Shrewsbury Abbey following the route set out by the British Pilgrims Trust:

I wanted to try some new routes and get out into the local countryside and explore. This route was brilliant and I saw and learnt so much along the journey. The route visited a number of churches and points of interest along the way which we explore including Acton Burnell castle.

Awesome.
I just done a 5 day pilgrimage from Newport Wales down to Glastonbury. I headed down for the solstice met some wonderful people and saw some amazing parts of the country along my journey. I set myself the task in the darkest days to see how our ancestors faired in the winter. Got a lot of respect for you cariad ❤
Without offending please accept my acknowledgement of how beautiful I find you, your soft spoken voice melts me, and if we did this together, you would have a coffee made ready for you. Yes I found the trails were overgrown if I do another one I would be better prepared with some tools. Sending you a heart warming hug on this new moon 🌚 ❤ blessings from your biggest fan Taff 😊

Just discovered your channel. A combination of historical, camping, walking and ASMR-lite subject matter. Love it!
Keep up the good work!
All this history right on our doorstep.... lovely video.
Thanks for watching😊😊😊
@ethicalbunny Too be honest... it's not difficult watching you....
Enjoyed this, would like to see more shropshire routes in the future. Roll on spring when we can get back out there
Thanks for lovely video amazing scenery i love walking 🙏
Congarts on your baptism and confirmation.
Thank you - it was all very new to me 😊
@@ethicalbunny ❤
What a beautiful walk through the countryside. The churches and history you shared with us was absolutely amazing. We have many old sandstone churches in the state of New York but not nearly the age of those in England. Loved this video and thanks for sharing your religious journey. God bless.
Thank you I’m really glad you enjoyed it 😊 ahh that is interesting! I’ve never been to NY state but I’ve heard it’s slightly similar geography to the UK! 😊
I once heard that "a hundred years is a long time in the USA, but a hundred miles is a long way in the UK"! Best wishes,
Thank you for sharing this pilgrimage and your recent baptism and confirmation. Congratulations. I really enjoyed your historical commentary and video editing and music. Very inspirational. I wish you lots of luck in your Christian journey. Years ago I did part of the Camino Way in Spain, the weather was not kind but the trip and fellow pilgrims I met, energised my own spiritual journey. Thank you.
I love this journey! Thank you for sharing as always.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you!
I’m glad you enjoyed it - something a bit different 😊 merry Christmas to you too 😊😊
I feel very lucky to live in the North East of England, but I do love Shropshire and Herefordshire, beautiful counties. Thanks for a lovely vlog❤
What a nice pilgrimage, beautiful country, historic churches and nature all around. 😊
This seems epic and beautiful!
Congratulations
I’m based in Cumbria so mostly lakes and mountains, what a fascinating varied country we have, a peaceful relaxing watch, thank you 🙏
I enjoyed watching this so much. Something peaceful and relaxing about the video, as well as the details along the way. Thank you so much 🙏💙
Glad you enjoyed it! That is the vibe I’m going for 😊 we are pretty chill around here 😅
Excellent video. Your voice is so very calming. ❤
Its beautiful
Lots more important churches in Shrewsbury with far more impressive stained glass, history and facts - lived in these parts of Shropshire all my life. Subscribed
Great to see you back ....Happy Christmas 🎄... brilliant video as always..
Thank you! Happy christmas😊 hopefully will get some more videos out before the end of the year 😂
That was an enlightening stroll. . I thank you for sharing.
I wish you well with your journey. .
May your new year bring health and enlightenment. . Keep your beautiful mind open. .
You have a most relaxing voice and lovely accent. . 😁
Take care 🤗
Thank you 😊 ha ha good I’m glad I was going for a chilled vibe - there is enough stress in the world 😅
I walked from past St Eata's from Shrewsbury this summer on my way to Ironbridge but someone was working in the grounds so I didn't go in, I grew up in Holywell in North East Wales where st Winifred lived and there's a popular holy well to this day, your route seems much nicer.
Beautiful! I bet that was a good walk! I would love to do the pilgrimage to Holywell, such a special spot you are very lucky 😊
God bless and look after you. Very interesting. Thank you.
Thank you 😊😊
Thank you for this, I live in South Shropshire and have walked past those places many times, it's such an underrated part of the country. You also pronounced Shrewsbury correctly which always gets a thumbs up from me, haha!👍👍
Nice spiritual and historic journey beautifully presented by you, dear Ellie. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it 😊 hopefully I will get to do another one next year! 😊
Lovely relaxing walk through Shropshire and the historic churches too,your calm manner makes it more relaxing. New viewer here and ive subscribed👍.
@@garys4756 thank you Gary! It’s the most beautiful place 🏴 I’m glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for subscribing ☺️
I walked the Shropshire Way in 2023 - well recommended. It's a beautiful part of the country.
I would love to do that - it’s on my list! 😊😊
What a fantastic video, thanks for sharing
You have a lovely, wonderfully soothing voice. It’s such a pleasure to listen to! ✨😊
Thank you Doug 😊😊
Thanks for sharing this lovely video of your pilgrimage, the scenery was beautiful and a walk I would love to do some day, some good mileage there for you , thanks again and look forward to your next outing you share thank you. 😀👍
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it as it was a bit different! I know ha ha I’ve been trying to increase it slowly so I can tackle some bigger adventures in the future 😊😊
The Castle would be nice restored to its former Glory.
I really enjoyed this
I’m glad 😊😊 thanks for watching!!
Some lovely churches in S Shropshire. I know more about Clun, Newcastle, Maidstone, Bishops castle and that area
Mom and Dad were married in Newcastle, my sister and a large number of relatives are laid to rest there. Wonderful video, look forward to another like this! Best wishes.
Thank you! I hopefully will get to visit them as I’m planning a walk along offas dyke next year! Thank you I appreciate that 😊😊
Hi 😊 It's very interesting and beautiful movie 😊 I like Castle 😊 greetings from Poland
Kamil 👋😁
Much Wenlock priory; home to Gabrielle Drake the actress, and sister of the musician Nick Drake.
Yes, of Crossroads fame - Nick was very talented
@@hjones451 theres an event to him every year in his home town of Tanworth in arden every year, its lovely
Lovely video, so interesting to see the Shropshire churches, all little gems tucked away among beautiful countryside. I’ve often thought of doing the two cathedrals pilgrims walk from Chester to Lichfield. It’s also fascinating to hear about your spiritual journey, I hope you feel able to share more as it progresses.
@@paullockley4891 ahh you should! I bet that would be amazing! Yes it was really interesting and I saw so much that I’ve never seen or heard of - very different way to experience the landscape! ☺️
Shropshire is just a beautiful county I’m fortunate enough to live in Newport and there is a lot to see.
Ahh lovely! Yes it’s my favourite place in the world 😊
Your walks seem to focus on Shropshire and Snowdonia. I grew up in Wolverhampton, and know these areas well. You say you’re interested in new routes. Well, I have a recommendation for mid Wales. From Barmouth you can summit Cadar Idris, where you can sleep in the bothy. Continuing NE you can follow the ridge line of the Arrans. That range drops you onto the shores of Llyn Tegid by Y Bala. It all takes two days, and transport is straightforward. You can use trains, or leave a car at the lake, take a bus to Barmouth and walk back. I’d also suggest the Black Mountains, especially Llanthony Priory. There is actually a pub in the basement . . .
Fantastic architecture!
Happy New Year, Elle if one day you want to do the walk of your life the TA I come with you.
Best wishes girl 💪
Wonderful commentary and views. Shropshire I do not know, but one day the same Pilgrimage as you.
Ahh well it’s a lovely place 😊😊 rolling hills and big sky 😊
Really enjoyed that video of your Pilgrimage. You have certainly earned your Latte after that distance. 😊
Thank you Jill 😂 I never got one 😢😢 I will have to develop a better coffee system xxx
Shropshire is lovely. My great grandad Tommy lived there.
Great video Elle , I watched it through my TV and had to come over to comment and wish you a great new year 👍🍻
@@henry9406 thank you Henry! Glad you enjoyed it ☺️ hope it was ok on the big screen 😉
@ …..it was a beautifully made video plus I love exploring old buildings. But any video I want to watch over 20 minutes I always watch on the big screen, so I often forget to git on my iPad to like and comment 👍🍻
😁 A great historical and religious trail. Fantastic video and pilgrimage. Me and my friend love old churches and abbeys and my mission is to always look out for Knights Templar markings that were carved secretly in the stone work in some of our more ancient remaining churches and abbeys. 😁👍 I must do this trail sometime.. Thanks for taking us all along with your findings and pilgrimage x 😁
Ahhh I will have to learn more and keep a look out for them! There is so much KT history in Shropshire! 😊
They are very rare and difficult to find. Mostly in churches and chapels that survived the refermation. Me and my friend use vicors to look into any history for us.. Ill definatley visit shropshire again and do this trail 😁@ethicalbunny
Well good for you, Elle, on you joining the one true faith. There's a fair few pilgrimages you can do in the UK as you already know, but if you ever get the time I'd highly recommend any of the Caminos in Spain.
@@scotbotvideos I would love to do that but I think I’ll be doing a few more in the UK first ha ha 😹 I’m trying to slowly increase how far I can walk ☺️🥾
Well done Ellie excellent walk and video, you did extremely well. Stay safe and well - Happy New Year and all the best for 2025 :)
Thank you! Ha ha well I did my best! It was quite a challenge with the bag! Happy new year 😊😊😊
Great route that I’d not heard of but now want to try. Kudos on the wild camp. I often walk around Wenlock edge and the Shropshire hills.
Yes ha ha ! I’m always looking for new routes in Shropshire 😅😅
Hello Elle. I recently discovered your channel and found your video to be quite soothing and tranquil. I appreciated the insights you provided during your pilgrimage. Thank you for sharing your experience. Wishing you all the best. 👍👍
Thank you 😊 glad you enjoyed it and found it soothing 😊😊
Excellent 👌 id love to do something similar one day enjoyed watching thanks 👍
Thank you so much for bringing us along for the journey, I've been reading up on the Knight's Templar, they were present often at most 10th, 11th and 12th century churches, perhaps look for their graves at your next early church visit, there is a chuch near me in Hampshire where apparently wilfred of the round table donated the font in 800ad, it's on private land mind, but the Vicor will let you see it, if given appropriate respect
There is lots of their history around Shropshire and Shropshire is actually a site of one of the possible holy grails! I would love to do something on that although it’s a little off piste 😅
Lovely shafted windows
Fascinating from beginning to end. Thanks for taking us along.
@@TheBearAndHer thank you ☺️ glad you enjoyed it ☺️☺️☺️❤️🤍🏴
Great video
I always find ancient architecture fascinating, mostly castles and churches. There's a church I found years ago with grave stones carved in Latin, that and the castle gatehouse are all that's left of the village after bubonic plague swept through.
Ahh where was that? Yes it was quite interesting and a very different journey stopping at so many sights! 😊😊
@ethicalbunny Whorlton village, just next to Swainby on the way north towards Stokesley in North Yorkshire. The castle was built in the 12th century and the gatehouse added in the 14th.
You aren't supposed to climb the gatehouse and I wouldn't recommend it but you can see "ripples" in the next field where the houses were, the church is directly in front of the castle site and both are open to the public and free to visit. If I can find better directions or a grid reference I'll let you know if you're in the area.
Langley Chapel is usually open, but it's locked over night by the local farm - did slightly confuse them the occasion I was there at dusk taking night photos of it lit up with flash as they arrived to close up for the day a fews years ago.
Yes I’ve seen others go in but it was 6am so I don’t think they had opened it yet 😊 I bet that gave them a shock!
@@ethicalbunny lol - I see UA-cam removed my direct links to the pics I took.
Not to worry. If interested then a google search for:
flickr i cooper langley chapel
Should bring up the night pics both inside and out with similar night photos at Acton Burnell and Cantlop Bridge either side.
It was a nice video I enjoyed watching 🙂
Looks like someone’s ready to walk the Camino de Santiago
Wow that’s my dream 🍻
@@Rkolb2798 ha ha maybe one day soon ☺️
@follow your dreams 👍
What a lovely video and thanks for sharing. The weather in July was so wet. I'm not a Christian but you inspired me so I will have to do that walk during 2025.
I know ha ha I don’t even feel like we had a summer! Would recommend it but take a map as some of the paths were quite hard to find and go through farmers fields!😊
The composer Ralph Vaughan Williams did a song cycle called On Wenlock Edge 1909, worth a listen to. Indeed, Guy Hayward's org BPT has at least 80 British pilgrim routes, thanks for filming one.
I will have to listen to it! There seems to be so much history in much wenlock for such a tiny place!
Happy Christmas Babe that is a lovely video princess happy new year 👍😘😀
Thank you 😊 happy Christmas 😊
Happy Christmas also babe 😘👍😀
Happy New Year!
Happy new year!😊😊
If you're walking the coast paths in Anglesey, there's a nice old church right on it near where I live, I walk the path often, be nice to meet you along it one day. Blwyddyn Newydd dda.
Yes there are loads of pilgrimages in Anglesey 😊 I would like to go there one day! Ti hefyd 😊
Congratulations on becoming a Christian. I loved this pilgrimage and the fascinating history. You've got such a calm voice - absolutely lovely to listen to. I've subbed.
Thank you 😊 hopefully I will get to do another couple in 2025! Was a very new experience for me and a different journey going from place to place 😊😊 glad you enjoyed it!
“There is of course a deep spiritual need which the pilgrimage seems to satisfy, particularly for those hardy enough to tackle the journey on foot.” 🥾⛪🎒Great video Elle.
@@Delgrey who said that? It’s true … there is something very different and connecting about walking 🥾⛰️☺️
@@ethicalbunny Edwin Mullins
That looks very similar to the church Tommy was buried at.
Found and enjoyed this video after looking into UK pilgrimage sites. I am a catechumen in RCIA joining the Church on the Easter Vigil 2025.
Ahhh that’s so exciting! Are you in Shropshire as well? Good luck 😊😊 would highly recommend the British pilgrims trust 😊
@ I was in Shropshire years ago with the RAF but haven’t been there for a long time. My parish is Our Lady of Dolours in Fulham. We are blessed to be the Church where Blessed Carlo Acutis was baptised and we have a relic of his on display. His beatification was 2020 and will be canonised April 2025.
You should check out the South Downs way and divert off to see Arundel Cathedral and Arundel Castle. Loads of Catholic artefacts including the rosary of Mary Queen of Scots which she had with her at her execution and her bracelet containing a relic of the true cross.
Good luck with the channel and your adventures.
That other church will be back part of the Church of England soon.

Thank you 😊
Great video... Not sure if you've been told, but there's a great pilgrimage in Herefordshire. I've recently done it.
Start at Hereford cathedral and sleep in the cloisters, then over several days walk round Herefordshire stopping in the medieval churches. Lovely facilities and well managed. Most can be locked during the night too for safety. Oh and there's tea and coffee facilities... Even hot water bottles!
Maybe worth looking into
Lovely 🌹 Is it possible to run away from Love and Romance? Inspiration comes from the flowers 🌸 and the poets voice. A bird song at mornibg and a starshine at night... Amen 🙏
Thank you for your lovely words 😊😊
@@ethicalbunny Abide with me fast forward evening tide, the ... Hynm.
Like it nice see u in video 📹 ❤
Thank you 😊😊
Inspirational, Refreshing, Beautiful & Brave. Thank you.
Thank you Malcom 😊
Theres wild cats about Shropshire way.
Just imagine when Jesus comes for his Bride ✝️ ✅️
Its a shame the churches are closed
Lovely video ❤ uou could do with someone to relieve you, of that backpack. Take the weight off your shoulders.
"Same old story" I don't understand this comment.
Guess we'll never know.
Hi, have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour? Your baptism should be a symbol of repenting of sin and receiving a new life by accepting Jesus. Once you accept Him in faith, forgiveness and eternal life are God's gifts of grace to you. I hope you take the step if you haven’t already. God bless ❤
I love your content,its so calming and relaxing to watch before bed😌
Glad you enjoy it! 😊😊
