Пълно описание

Thanks to Chaucer and his Canterbury Tales, the path along the North Downs to Thomas Becket’s shrine in Canterbury Cathedral is the most famous pilgrim route in the world. Yet there is another Canterbury pilgrim path that is 600 years older - the Augustine Camino that runs from Rochester via Canterbury to Ramsgate. It venerates St Augustine, who brought Christianity to Kent in 597AD, and takes in the place he landed as well as the two cities where he built cathedrals. In recent years St Augustine’s central place in England’s religious and cultural history has been marked formally by a new shrine dedicated in 2012 to him in St Augustine’s church in Ramsgate. Another pilgrim path is recently re-discovered Old Way, which runs to Canterbury from the south and takes in the lovely pilgrim churches of the Romney Marsh. In this book Andy Bull, who has been researching Britain’s pilgrim paths for many years explores these and many other pilgrim routes in Kent and the historic places and people associated with them.

Kent''s Pilgrim Routes: A History of Paths, Places and People will appeal to all those who enjoy walking and exploring Britain’s heritage. Through this book readers and walkers today can explore the full breadth of Kent’s rich pilgrim history and the fascinating history to be discovered en route.
