This Pilgrimage route was first walked from 19 to 21 June 2019 to celebrate the launch of St Albans Cathedral's National Lottery Heritage funded project, Alban, Britain's First Saint. The pilgrims walked with a special booklet created for the occasion, which includes a selection of readings, prayers and food for thought and conversation. You are welcome to download the booklet below and use it on your journey if you wish to.
