An in-depth talk including the history and the development of the pilgrimage.
This new pilgrimage route was created by myself and Alexandra le Rossignol. We had been asked to put on an art exhibition in response to a pilgrimage from Dover to Canterbury and ended up creating a new route because there was an interesting church here and a tea room there. This talk takes in the history, landscape and art along the route.

I was first drawn to pilgrimages when I discovered the Tro Briez pilgrimage which takes in the sites of the seven founding saints of Brittany in France. For this pilgrimage I followed the route by car as I only had two weeks to undertake the 700 km journey. I then joined forces with fellow artist, Alexandra le Rossignol, to lead a group of Creative Pilgrims on the Augustine Camino route from Rochester to Ramsgate. We subsequently went on to create The Way of Saint Martin – a slow pilgrimage route from Dover to Canterbury. I have gone on to seek out long distance routes and experience travelling light and slow pilgrimage.
The theme of pilgrimage has lead me to become a North Downs Way Ambassador and a Cross Channel Geopark Ambassador. I am based on the edge of the Kent Downs and continue to explore the landscape with my camera. As a photographer, my images have sold worldwide to magazines, newspapers and books.
