'Way of St Augustine' is a new short 2-day pilgrimage route between the Shrine of St Augustine in Ramsgate and Canterbury.
The route follows in the footsteps (or the wake) of St Augustine from his landing place near Pegwell Bay in AD 597, through the East Kent countryside, to Canterbury, where he established his Cathedral, and became the first Archbishop.
The route has been developed in conjunction with Explore Kent, and the Shrine of St Augustine and the Churches Conservation Trust (CCT), all working together under the banner of the Green Pilgrimage Network Canterbury Partnership, an initiative run by the Diocese of Canterbury.
The Way of St Augustine is approximately 17 miles long, and in order to appreciate the landscape of the Stour valley, and the historic churches (and pubs) along the way, is best tackled over two days.
The Way of St Augustine can be walked in either direction
