Wandelgids Forth to Farne Way - Schotland
Productomschrijving: Deze inspirerende pelgrimsroute van 110 mijl begint vanuit North Berwick aan de Firth of Forth bij Edinburgh en gaat verder via de 12e-eeuwse kerk van Whitekirk naar Dunbar. Het volgt de Noordzeekust naar het adembenemende landschap van St-Abb's Head en bezoekt Coldingham Priory, misschien wel het belangrijkste benedictijnenklooster van Schotland. Geniet van indrukwekkende kliffen en dramatische zeestapels tussen bezoeken aan historische vissersdorpen. Steek de grens over en ga Berwick binnen met zijn wallen, muren en bruggen over de rivier de Tweed.
De route eindigt met een blootsvoets oversteek van het Holy Island-zand naar Lindisfarne, waar St-Aidan in 635 na Christus een klooster stichtte. De meeste mensen zullen de route binnen 5 tot 8 dagen voltooien.
Engelse omschrijving: This inspiring 70-mile pilgrim route starts from North Berwick on the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh, and continues via Whitekirk’s 12th century church to Dunbar. It follows the North Sea coastline to the stunning scenery of St Abb’s Head and visits Coldingham Priory, perhaps Scotland’s most important Benedictine monastery. Enjoy impressive cliffs and dramatic sea stacks between visits to historic fishing villages. Cross the border and enter Berwick with its ramparts, walls and bridges across the River Tweed. The route culminates with a barefoot crossing of the Holy Island sands to Lindisfarne, where St Aidan founded a monastery in AD 635.
Most people will complete the route within 5 to 8 days, staying in friendly B&Bs along the route, but it can also be done in several shorter expeditions using train and bus.
