“People taking part in an LTG pilgrimage on their own will soon find themselves in a warm and welcoming group. It can be very daunting, especially for a single woman, to embark ona holiday on her own. Without exception, the people I’ve met on LTG holidays have been the most friendly and caring.”
Michael, Chingford
‘I enjoyed visiting Hobthrush Island, near Lindisfarne Monastery, retreating like St Cuthbert, listening in the wind, watching the sea.’

‘Durham is an awesome city- One which I must return to and explore. The pilgrimage is action packed with no dull moments, but still allows time for ‘reflection.’ Love, camaraderie, laughter and prayer have to be personally experienced. And after a busy day, what better way to end than with Compline! Who needs a night cap after that?’

“As an American and a Presbyterian, I found that exploring the Celtic Saints was an experience of mystery and exhilarating prayer. From cathedral to crypt the lives and faith of the Saints came alive.”
Mary Withall, Barnes, UK
The inspirational highlight of the Celtic Saints tour was partaking in our service at the foot of St Aidan's statue shrouded in the Celtic mists of Lindisfarne, with the sheltered priory silhouetted behind us. Our group was made up of mainly American priests, three Canadians and ten or so English with church connections but at that time we were one body standing in the footsteps of many pilgrims who had gone before us over the centuries of time. What a wonderful memory to take home.
