Starting at the grand York Minster, shrine of St William of York, and place of rebirth of Roman Christianity in the North in 627, you climb from the lowland Vale of York to rolling hills at Crayke before crossing the North York Moors through fields, moorland and ancient paved tracks before following the salmon-rich River Esk Valley to Whitby. You pass by famous ancient establishments in extraordinary settings like Byland and Riveaulx Abbeys and finish at Whitby Abbey.
You can get more information on this pilgrimage route from the British Pilgrimage Trust website (britishpilgrimage.org/portfolio/whitby-way).
