The Pilgrim's Way is the oldest English Pilgrimage from Winchester to Canterbury starting at St Swithun's Shrine in Winchester Cathedral and heading for Thomas Becket's Shrine in Canterbury Cathedral. Following the ancient tracks of the Pilgrim's Way the way pilgrims have walked the same path for over a 1000 years - this long distance footpath stretches 187 miles. So lets Get Outdoors.

Onwards through Gatton Park and to Merstham and Quality Street which is connected to the chocolate selection tin. Next over the M25 and then under the M23 we carry onto Gravelly Hill and the Pilgrims Fort. then crossing the A22 and to Winder Hill, Hanging Wood, Gangers Hill and to Titsey Place, passing the Greenwich Meridian Line along the way. Passing the site of an old Roman Villa as we head for our accommodation for the night the Best Western Hotel by Clacket Lane Services.

I walked this in late Oct - Nov of 2019. It was a bit rainy at times and no one else walking. I may have to go back and walk it in the summer and continue on to the Camino de Santiago...
I remember it not being very well marked in places and some of the posts showing different walking paths going different directions. I got off track quite a few times.

I equally didn't see many other pilgrims walking route as I walked it, but come across several walkers out for the day. Although the trail is 1000 years old one of the UK's oldest its surprising its not marked better

Hi, I would like to say how much I enjoy your walks. Some of the Derbyshire ones I have also done, but it's lovely to join you in areas I don't think I'll get to see. I hope you don't mind but can I say I find the music you put on just a bit too loud, it competes with your voice and if there are natural sounds as well I just find it difficult to hear everything you say. I love to see the beautiful scenery and listen to nature and your interesting information

Thank you, I have taken on board the advice in reference to backing music and my voice, I do try to separate them in editing but may of missed a few spots along the way - but thanks for the positive comments too
