Pilgrimage

St Albans is the oldest known place of Christian pilgrimage in this country. A pilgrimage is the special journey we make to a special place and can be a sign of the inward, spiritual journey which we undertake through the whole of our lives, and which is ultimately to God. We hope that you will feel moved to make your pilgrimage to St Albans, and that you will find it to be a truly uplifting experience.

Plan your own group pilgrimage to St Albans Cathedral, with opportunities for worship and guided tours.
