The Arundel & Brighton Pilgrim Way is Ready to Walk!

Phil McCarthy • March 8, 2023

The Way of Our Lady of Consolation

The Way is from the Cathedral of Our Lady & St Philip Howard in Arundel to the Diocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation at West Grinstead.


The Way passes the ruins of Greyfriars Friary and skirts the grounds of Arundel Castle, home of the Dukes of Norfolk, before crossing the South Downs to reach the Church of Our Lady of England and the Chemin Neuf community at Storrington. The route continues in a north-eastern direction and traverses quiet countryside by track and lane to reach the Shrine at West Grinstead. Our Lady of Consolation is one of the earliest names for Jesus’ mother Mary and dates from the 2nd century.


Resources for the inner and outer ways, walking directions and the GPX file can be downloaded from the Arundel & Brighton page of this website.
