St Cuthbert's Way
The St Cuthbert’s Way is only a part Scottish walk as it ends in beautiful Northumberland on the Holy Island. We have decided to include it as one of our walks as it does start in Scotland. It is a beautiful walk and one of our favourites
Saint Cuthbert (c. 634–20 March 687) originated from Dunbar in Scotland. He became a monk at an early age and he was also a soldier for a number of years before returning to the monastery at Old Melrose. He became a hard working pastor for the church until 676 when he became a hermit on the Farne Islands not far from the Monastery of Lindisfarne on Holy Island
Towards the end of his life he was made Bishop of Lindisfarne though he returned to his solitude as a hermit before dying in 687. He became one of the most important medieval saints of England. St Cuthbert is regarded as the patron saint of Northern England and his feast day is 20th March
The St Cuthbert’s Way follows his travels from the gentle Borders town of Melrose winding its way through beautiful countryside until it reaches the coast at Holy Island
