Walks with a purpose beyond the route: the Camino de Santiago, the Via Francigena, St Cuthbert's Way and other pilgrim paths. Guidebooks to the routes sit alongside memoirs by people who walked them and histories of why the paths exist.

Start with the Camino de Santiago, or see Long-distance walking for the wider run of trail guides.
