About The British Pilgrimage Trust

The British Pilgrimage Trust works to advance British pilgrimage as a form of cultural heritage that promotes holistic wellbeing, accessible to all. It was formed in 2014 and describes pilgrimage as a way to connect with places, communities, history and landscapes, walking in the footsteps of the people who came before.

Its approach is called "Bring Your Own Beliefs". It says pilgrimage can be made by anyone, whatever their beliefs, and that its approach has no religious persuasions or set beliefs: people of all faiths and none can make the journey on their own terms. By holistic wellbeing it means physical, mental, emotional, social, community, environmental and spiritual health.

Its website offers free access to over 250 routes and more than 700 places across England, Scotland and Wales, from cathedrals and holy wells to ancient tracks, rivers, coastlines and hilltops, with digital maps and planning guides. Its Sanctuary Network has over fifty low-cost places to stay along the routes, usually churches but also village halls, sports pavilions and farm buildings, at about £10 a night. It also runs guided pilgrimages, a Pilgrim Passport and community events, and works with partners to bring pilgrimage to people who are bereaved or under-served.

It registered with the Charity Commission as a CIO in December 2017 and is based in London. Six trustees and 19 volunteers support it, and in the year to December 2025 it had an income of £303,543 and spent £253,784.

Every time a supporter shops online through Voucher Magpie with The British Pilgrimage Trust chosen, we donate 50% of the commission the shop pays us to the Trust, at no extra cost to the shopper.
