Via Beata

Cambridgeshire, Carmarthenshire, Herefordshire, Norfolk, Pembrokeshire, Powys, Suffolk, Warwickshire, Worcestershire

731 km / 454 miles
The aim of the Via Beata (Way of Blessing) pilgrimage path was to link a series of Christian art works across the widest part of the UK, from Lowestoft in Suffolk to St David's Head in Pembrokeshire. The art works, referred to as way-stations, are placed every 10 miles or so and existing rights of way and small roads link them together to form a path of over 400 miles.
Detailed walking instructions for each of the 48 stages can be downloaded from the Via Beata website.
