Pilgrim Passport
Walkers will be able to have ‘pilgrim passports’ stamped at each church, to mark their visit, just as on the famous Camino de Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Hard copies of the passport will be available from the churches and also downloaded below. The relevant stamp for each church will be located in a box at or near the church door. In some cases it may be attached to a nearby tree. Where churches are open, it may be inside.
