St Joseph's Way is Ready to Walk!

Phil McCarthy • September 12, 2024

The St Joseph's Way is a Pilgrim Way for the Diocese of Portsmouth and the Bishopric of the Armed Forces from the Cathedral of St John in Portsmouth to the national Shrine of St Joseph in Farnborough Abbey via the Cathedral of the Bishopric of the Armed Forces


From St John's Cathedral the Way passes the Church of Corpus Christi in Portsmouth and then joins the Pilgrims' Trail out of Portsmouth passing the Church of St Colman at Cosham. At Wood End the way joins the Meon Valley Churches Walk along a disused railway track to West Meon. The Pilgrim Way then crosses farmland by track and lane to reach Ropley where the route joins the St Swithun's Way, to reach the Church of St Mary, Alton.


Just before Hale the route leaves the St Swithun's Way, to reach the Church of St Joan of Arc in Farnham and then the Church of the Holy Family before crossing parkland to Aldershot and the Church of St Joseph and then the Cathedral of SS Michael & George, of the Catholic Bishopric of the Armed Forces. The Way picks up the Basingstoke Canal towpath and then the Blackwater Valley Path into Farnborough to reach the Shrine of St Joseph at Farnborough Abbey
