As part of the 'Year of Sharing', the Diocese of Newcastle is delighted to be launching its very own pilgrimage route, St Aidan’s Way. From the ‘first cathedral’ on Holy Island, to the ‘new cathedral’ in Newcastle, we’re looking forward to walking in the footsteps of St Aidan, with opportunities to reflect on his role as peacemaker.

Anne and Derek Marr joined the walkers for a short time as they came through Beadnell on the third leg of the St Aidan’s Way pilgrimage walk from Seahouses to Craster. They were able to show them St Ebba’s Neuk and the foundations of her chapel, and gave them greetings from MU before waving farewell as they walked across Beadnell Bay.
