The Golden Valley Pilgrim Way is a stunning 6/7 day circular pilgrimage route along beautiful and ancient paths that begins and ends at Hereford Cathedral. The trail links the Wye Valley with the Golden Valley and the flower meadows and foothills of the Black Mountains. Once you leave the city and the Cathedral behind, this is a rich and silent land, good for the body as well as the soul.
Approximately 60 miles long you will come across apple orchards, sacred sites, ruined castles, holy wells and Arthurian legends as well as hidden farms that produce local ciders and ice cream. There is a real contrast between gentle wooded river valleys and stunning views of mountain landscapes with one or two spots for wild swimming.

The Golden Valley Pilgrim Way is a circular walking route, through the Golden Valley in Hereford Diocese, for people in search of a spiritual element to walking, using landscape, churches and other sacred sites as a foci for reflection and rest.

Hereford Companion Voices will be coming to the Abbey on the evening of Thursday 24th October and would love to give you an experience of what they offer. They will speak about what they do and there will be opportunities to ask questions. They are also going to sing some of their repertoire. This will be more of an immersive experience than a performance. Please bring a blanket to be warm and comfortable. You may wish to lie on the floor for this experience and could bring a yoga mat.

Companion Voices is a UK based charity, started at the end of 2014 in Brighton by composer and choir leader Judith Silver, inspired by the Threshold choirs in the US. It is made up of small groups around the country who sing at the bedsides of people who are at the end of life.

Join the congregation live at Hereford Cathedral on Sunday morning.
Live streamed services are now available to watch on Hereford Cathedral’s website, www.herefordcathedral.org between Sunday and Friday
