Caracteristici
Interest in pilgrims' routes is seeing enormous growth as people have returned to British holidays and walking. In recent years a number of people and organisations have attempted to rediscover ancient holy paths in Britain to cater for modern-day pilgrims. This resulted in the establishment of The British Pilgrimage Trust in 2014, which will be a good avenue of support for the book.
