Description

This inspiring 70-mile pilgrim route starts from North Berwick on the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh, and continues via Whitekirk’s 12th century church to Dunbar. It follows the North Sea coastline to the stunning scenery of St Abb’s Head and visits Coldingham Priory, perhaps Scotland’s most important Benedictine monastery. Enjoy impressive cliffs and dramatic sea stacks between visits to historic fishing villages. Cross the border and enter Berwick with its ramparts, walls and bridges across the River Tweed. The route culminates with a barefoot crossing of the Holy Island sands to Lindisfarne, where St Aidan founded a monastery in AD 635.

Most people will complete the route within 5 to 8 days, staying in friendly B&Bs along the route, but it can also be done in several shorter expeditions using train and bus. This 72-page guidebook contains all you need to plan and enjoy the Forth to Farne Way:

  • route detail in sections, with distance, terrain and refreshments
  • where to find food and accommodation
  • background on the spiritual dimension, geology and wildlife
  • planning information for travel by train, bus, car or plane
  • 16 pages with detailed route mapping at 1:30,000
  • in full colour, with 80 photographs
  • rucksack-friendly and on rainproof paper.
