The English Start of the Camino

[Marcus-UK]

There was an article in the Guardian concerning the start of the pilgrimage in England to Santiago de Compostella. A new 65 mile (104 KM) route has been signposted from Reading to Southampton where pilgrims could take ships to Spain.

I did the English leg of the Camino de Santiago – starting in Reading

The UK section of the pilgrimage runs through Berkshire and Hampshire to Southampton, where the faithful would set sail for Spain. And it’s now all waymarked

The St James Way is a very worthwhile and rewarding walk of four or five days. It passes through varied countryside, including canalside and riverside stretches, with Winchester Cathedral and many interesting villages and churches en route. There is very little infrastructure specifically for pilgrims, but the booklet published by the Confraternity of St James is superb and very informative.

There was another thread started about this route a few days ago.
