to the holy island of Lindisfarne and the World Heritage Site of Mont-St-Michel built on the tiny island off the coast of Normandy The most notable addition to the rejuvenated era of pilgrimage is the Via Francigena now a very well established path through Switzerland and Italy The Italian section begins on the bleak summit of the Great St Bernard Pass where a hospice still caters to the needs of passing pilgrims before heading down to Rome through some of Italy's most beguiling countryside interspersed with medieval hilltop towns and villages Astounding photographs combine with an absorbing text that describes the history and key features of each route as well as brief details of the distances and the number of days it takes to walk and a list of websites to help plan your journey
