Iagan MacNeil finds out about the landscape and history along the St Cuthbert’s Way. The 62-mile-long pilgrims’ route, named for the 7th century hermit, healer and bishop, St Cuthbert, links Melrose Abbey in the Scottish Borders where Cuthbert began his religious life, with his original burial place on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne off the Northumbrian coast.

Iagan visits some cup-and-ring marks on Weetwood Moor, and finds out why Weetwood Bridge is part of the Flodden Eco Museum. He visits St Cuthbert’s Cave where his body was kept safe from the Vikings, and walks across the tidal sands to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne on Good Friday with pilgrims from the Northern Cross.
