Pilgrims’ Way is an old path in southern England that runs from Winchester, in Hampshire, to Canterbury, in Kent. It keeps mostly to high ground, following the southern slopes of the North Downs. Parts of the path have been built upon, but it can still be seen in many places. Pilgrims’ Way was the route taken by pilgrims traveling from southwestern England to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral. The path itself dates from prehistoric times.
