A walk along the Via Appia, an old road that dates back to the 4th century BC. Is again being organised by Alberto Alberti.  Unlike previous years, this walk will be in two parts, starting at Benevento, further south than is usual.  The walk ends in Rome.

Alberto’s walks are always eventful and highly individual.  He has been working for many years to revive (and where necessary re-invent!) the route used by Apostles, Emperors, Saints, Popes and pilgrims.  You will have the opportunity to visit places, and take part in activities that would not otherwise be possible., for example last year it visited two schools and participants were treated to a charming music performance by the schoolchildren.  Contact Alberto directly, click here to download further details.

For the first time, the Confraternity of Pilgrims to Rome is organising a several day walk.  We will walk the whole of the Saints’ Way which runs from the north coast of Cornwall to the south coast.  En route we will find a number of shrines, standing stones holy wells and churches as well as stunning scenery.

The walk will be over three days and take place either around 2nd week of April or 2nd week of May.  Numbers will be very limited.  Click here  to email the Webmaster if you are interested in finding out more.
