Whether you are seeking to rekindle a rhythm of life or discover spiritual questions, our gentle prompts along the route will support you finding your question or your answer on the way.
Those looking for adventure
Spending six days as a group walking through challenging terrain, carrying all you need for the journey, is a collective experience you will never forget.
The Peak Wesley Way Story
The Peak Wesley Way began as a vision to share our stories with small groups who are spiritually curious and intrigued by spending time in the ancient holy places, indoor and outdoor. The pilgrimage is for groups of friends or family with a shared quest for adventure, wanting to connect with a simpler greener lifestyle, or needing space to broaden life experiences. It was founded by and is sustained by a team of volunteers, some of whom you will meet during your pilgrimage.
