Based at Minsteracres Retreat house near the Durham Dales, this pilgrimage explores the sacred heart of the North. Our community gathers daily for Mass, evening prayer, and shared meals, fostering deep spiritual fellowship.

By coach, we visit iconic sites including Lindisfarne, Durham Cathedral, Jarrow, and Hexham Abbey. Expertly guided by Rev’d John and Gina McManners, the journey is enriched by John’s nightly talks on the “Northern Saints”—including Cuthbert, Aidan, and Bede.

With over 30 years of experience, our leaders provide historical context and companionship throughout the week. Whether enjoying optional guided walks or coastal scenery, you are invited to retrace the footsteps of these extraordinary saints in a prayerful, welcoming environment.
