In 1990, the cathedral at Santiago de Compostela recorded fewer than 5,000 pilgrims; today that figure is at least 200,000 a year. Author Derry Brabbs' previous book, \u003cem\u003eRoads to Santiago\u003c\/em\u003e, focused exclusively on the 'camino' through France and Spain to Santiago de Compostela. \u003cem\u003ePilgrimage\u003c\/em\u003e revisits this classic route, and nine other inspirational journeys across Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're truly making a pilgrimage, exploring the world, or simply hiking, \u003cem\u003ePilgrimage\u003c\/em\u003e will lead you along deeply historical routes like the 'Jakobsweg' in Germany, between Cologne and Trier. You'll find great walks in Britain and France, like St. Cuthbert's Way, which winds around the Scottish Borders to the holy island of Lindisfarne, and the World Heritage Site of Mont-St-Michel built on the tiny island off the coast of Normandy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most notable addition to the rejuvenated era of pilgrimage is the Via Francigena, now a very well-established path through Switzerland and Italy. The Italian section begins on the bleak summit of the Great St Bernard Pass, where a hospice still caters to the needs of passing pilgrims before heading down to Rome through some of Italy's most beguiling countryside interspersed with medieval hilltop towns and villages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAstounding photographs combine with an absorbing text that describes the history and key features of each route. It also provides brief details of the distances and the number of days it takes to walk, along with a list of websites to help plan your journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072353157356,"sku":"9781836004066","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/19111273482841.jpg?v=1765096287"},{"product_id":"great-churches-of-london-by-derry-brabbs-9780711269231","title":"Great Churches of London","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUncover the most remarkable examples of religious architecture in England on this grand tour of London's great churches.
