DDL York & Whitby Pilgrimage 2026

In March 2026 we will set out together on a pilgrimage from the heart of Christian Britain to the windswept coast of what was Northumbria in the time of Saints Hilda and Cuthbert. This is an open invitation to anyone who feels the pull of the ancient path, the whisper of the saints, and the enchantment of our past. 

📍 Saturday 7 March — The Gathering

We will meet at 11:30am outside the mighty York Minster, that great crown of English Gothic and beacon of the high Middle Ages. After taking in its soaring lines and carved saints, we will begin our own descent backwards through time.

From York, Oliver and Ryan will drive DDL members who do not have car transportation, as we turn northward — toward the wild moors where the first light of Christ came to this part of England. Those travelling by their own cars will follow on.…
