The Middlesbrough Pilgrim Way is Ready to Walk!
The Way of Our Lady of Osmotherley
The Way is from the Cathedral of St Mary, Middlesbrough to the Diocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Osmotherley.
The route starts through south Middlesbrough, then crosses farmland to reach Roseberry Topping. The way then follows the Cleveland Way along the northern edge of the Cleveland Hills to Captain Cook's Monument. The Way descends to Kildale and passes through Battersby, Ingleby Greenhow, Great Broughton and Kirkby where food, accommodation and transport links can be found.
The Way returns to the Cleveland Way in a westerly direction to Lordstones and finally reaches the Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Grace at Osmotherley. Pilgrims may also want to visit the Church of Our Lady of Mount Grace, in the Old Hall, North End, Osmotherley. A Mass centre was associated with the Old Hall from very early in the Recusant period. Today’s chapel in the top storey of the Old Hall is the latest witness to unbroken faith.
Resources for the inner and outer journeys, walking guidance and the GPX file can be found on the Middlesbrough page of this website.
