St. Cuthbert’s Way is a moderate, 60 mile walk that will take you through some of the Scottish Borders’ most beautiful scenery – between the triple peaks of the heathery Eildon Hills; along the tranquil banks of he River Tweed and tracks which the Romans once marched. Beyond the border the route crosses into Northumberland National Park. A grassy path leads on over the foothills of the Cheviots via Hethpool to Wooler, passing numerous hill forts and prehistoric remains along the way, with occasional glimpses of the North Sea sparkling on the horizon. Soon Holy Island comes into view, beckoning you across the causeway or Pilgrim’s Path over the sands to the end of the route.

The choir will meet in Edinborough before travelling together to the trailhead and have their first rehearsal. Over the next 7 days the pilgrims will carry their daypacks to villages, staying bed and breakfasts and hostels, and eating local food. The Artistic Director for Vox St. Cuthbert’s Way 2024 is Bethany Ring
