The Cornish Celtic Way is a new pilgrimage route covering 125 miles through Cornwall from St. German’s to St. Michael’s Mount. It incorporates over 60 miles of the Cornish coastal path as well as two established pilgrimage routes: The Saints’ Way and St. Michael’s Way. The Cornish Celtic Way is divided into 16 walks that can be done as a whole over about 12 days or can be completed in sections over a longer period of time. 

 

The aim of the Cornish Celtic Way is to aid people of all ages who are interested in spirituality to explore faith in a different way. We believe that having faith isn’t about just going to a place of worship – it’s about getting out and experiencing it in everyday life as well, and taking it into your own hands. We hope that the Cornish Celtic Way will develop spiritual growth and personal reflection through stories of the Celtic Saints, Cornwall’s rich history, incredible landscape and the people and communities that will be encountered along the way. 

 

The Celtic saints engaged with nature and believed an understanding of God is revealed through it. They risked everything to bring Christianity to Cornwall between 500 and 600AD. The Cornish Celtic Way will guide people to walk in their footsteps, see what they saw and experience places of special significance where the Saints had been such as Celtic crosses, standing stones, holy wells and churches.

 

We have published a book, ‘A Cornish Celtic Way’ which provides an overall guide for this route. You can buy it through our shop page, and all profits will go back into the Cornish Celtic Way project. There is also a Cornish Celtic Way passport  to be stamped in places along the way, and the passport gives access to discounted accommodation. This includes budget accommodation on over 20 church and church hall floors that allow walkers carrying a mat and sleeping bag to walk long sections of the route.

We will be holding a series of led walks  which will include short  walks and longer pilgrimages.
