St Amphibalus Way

​

Join us for a walking pilgrimage tracing St Amphibalus’ journey from his resting place to the shrine built in his honour in St Albans Cathedral.

 

We start at St Mary’s, Redbourn, where we will celebrate the Eucharist, have coffee, and listen to a short talk about St Amphibalus. We will then walk 5½ miles to St Albans, stopping for a packed lunch on the way. At St Albans there will be a chance to visit the shrine of St Amphibalus (and the shrine of St Alban) before attending Evensong at 4pm. Pilgrims will then make their way back to Redbourn by bus.

​
