Walk the beautiful St Cuthbert’s Way to Holy Island with Stella Maris!

Phil McCarthy • February 26, 2025

Join Tim Hill MBE, CEO of Stella Maris, and Deacon Joe O’Donnell, Senior Area Port Chaplain, on a 5-night, 6-day pilgrimage marking the Jubilee Year of Hope - a meaningful time for pilgrimage.


Follow the ancient St. Cuthbert’s Way from the Scottish Borders to Lindisfarne, walking in the footsteps of saints, monks, and medieval travellers. Beginning at Melrose Abbey, the route winds through rolling hills, river valleys, and historic landmarks, with stunning landscapes from the Eildon and Cheviot Hills to the windswept Northumberland coast. The journey culminates in a final walk across the tidal causeway to Holy Island, a place of deep spiritual significance.


This special pilgrimage concludes during the Vatican-designated Jubilee of Families (30th May – 1st June), where we will pray especially for families of seafarers and fishers. A unique journey of history, faith, and breath-taking scenery awaits.

Stella Maris helps thousands of seafarers every year who are struggling with loneliness, exhaustion, bullying and exploitation.
