The Route

From London’s Tibetan Peace Gardens to Glastonbury Tor

Pioneering a new pilgrimage route along a mix of ancient and modern trails!

Pioneering a new 200 mile pilgrimage route designed in collaboration with the British Pilgrimage Trust along the Thames Path and The Ridgeway, our Road to Peace Pilgrimage will be a physical prayer for peace through the English landscape.

Dubbed the ‘Glastonbury Tales’, it is a modern re-telling of an ancient story – a re-dedication of the pilgrim pathways that were for millennia walked in peace and contemplation by untold thousands of people.

Starting at the Tibetan Peace Gardens by the Imperial War Museum in London SE1, we will take in the following towns and villages on the journey west towards Glastonbury Tor:

Walton on Thames – Windsor – Maidenhead – Reading – Goring – Uffington – Marlborough – Avebury – Pewsey / Honey Street – Devizes – Bradford on Avon – Frome – Shepton Mallet – Wells.

Journeying along a mix of ancient and modern trails, following rivers, prehistoric trackways, canals and footpaths, we will encounter river sources, holy hills, churches, monasteries and places of legend – as well as towns, schools, villages, communities and interfaith groups, sharing our film Road to Peace and generating our interfaith dialogue about peace and happiness as we go.

There will be opportunities to join us for ceremonial events at Avebury for the solstice celebrations on Saturday 20^th June and on Glastonbury Tor for a finale World Peace ceremony on Saturday 27^th June. Sign up below for news and updates on timings and how you can get involved!
