Join Our ‘Pilgrimage of Peace’
This Palm Sunday, 13th April, we invite you to a reflective 2-mile circular walk from St Nicholas Church, Abbotsbury, starting at 2:30pm.
Together, we’ll journey to St Catherine’s Chapel and back, pausing along the way for peaceful readings, songs, and mindfulness practices. Walking in silence through nature, we’ll embrace the present moment, listening to our breath, feeling the world around us, and reflecting on ways to bring peace into our lives and communities.
At St Catherine’s Chapel, we’ll offer prayers for peace and gratitude for life’s gifts. As we return, palm crosses will remind us of the message of sacrificial love and humility—the power of peace over selfishness.
Come walk with us, breathe in peace, and share it with the world.

Join Reverend Margaret on zoom for a service of quietness and reflection before rest at the end of the day.

The Litany will include St. Luke’s account of events leading to the crucifiction of our Lord, with hymns for Good Friday.

Starting at Holy Trinity, Swyre, at 10am, this will be a 'there and back' walk, with stops for reflection and prayers. After Swyre, the walk continues to Puncknowle - at approximately 10.30am at the church - and then on to Litton Cheney - for about 11.30am. The White Horse Pub might make an excellent coffee stop! You can join the walk for as much or as little as you would like but we anticipate the whole walk taking approximately 3 hours. You'll need stout walking shoes as some of the paths cross fields. Dogs on leads are welcome to come too.

Meet at Shipton Gorge church at 5.30am for a walk to Shipton Gorge Hill, where you will witness sunrise on Easter morning" When the weather is fine, the views are incredible! You'll need stout walking shoes or wellies and a torch. The walk, while not long, is steep in places and can be slippy after rain so be prepared for a bit of a scramble!
