THE 2026 programme of Pilgrim Journeys through Great Britain, from Pembrokeshire-based Journeying, is now available.

Journeying is an ecumenical and inclusive Christian organisation, established in 1988 and remains non-profit seeking. Two of the year’s Pilgrim Journeys will be based in Pembrokeshire; one in Tenby, the other on Caldey Island.

The journeys take the travellers through beautiful landscapes to places where for centuries people have felt especially close to God – sacred places, places of pilgrimage.

David Gleed, a member of the Journeying team, describes the experience:

“Arriving at the site of an early hermitage or chapel, perhaps now with the passage of time, no more than a mound of stones with only the vaguest outline indicating its original use, and as one stands and lets the place sink in, one becomes aware of an echo reaching back over the centuries, linking then with now on a shared journey, as real then as it is now.

“An experience for the pilgrim that is as joyful as it is humbling, as it is awesome… And at this point whether one set out as pilgrim or not, one is a pilgrim.”

Journeying warmly welcomes all who seek to nurture their spiritual journey in an informal ambience. The groups on these Pilgrim Journeys are small, perhaps a maximum of 12, including two leaders who stay with the group throughout.

The 2026 programme includes journeys with long walks, short walks and some with elements of retreat:
