This 20-mile route is a recognised English section of the Camino de Santiago and was the starting point for medieval pilgrims before travelling by sea to the Spanish port city of A Coruna to continue to Santiago. It starts at the ruins of Finchale Priory, where the 12th-century hermit Godric lived and from where he made one of the earliest recorded pilgrimages from England to Santiago.  It continues through Durham, where the shrines of the Venerable Bede and St Cuthbert are found in the Cathedral, and onwards through the Weardale Valley to Bishop Auckland before reaching the Saxon church of Escomb. The church, built between 670 and 675 AD, most probably with stone from the Roman Fort Vinovia nearby, is the oldest complete Saxon church in the UK. It hosts weekly services and is part of the Small Pilgrim Places Network. This small collection records the route, as followed in November 2021 to fulfil a family member's ambition to walk the Camino.
