Journeying

Journeying Walking holidays What we offer is almost certainly unique in Britain. Its origins lie in Celtic spirituality and most of our trips still reflect that approach.

Journeying is a non-profit organisation that takes small groups on holiday in an informal Christian ambience to the more off-the-beaten-track parts of Britain and Ireland. Pilgrimage has been part of our story from the earliest days and that aspect continues to form a thread woven through all that we do.

Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths.
Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
On You I wait all the day.

EACH YEAR we welcome pilgrim guests from overseas. Last year almost half of all bookings were from across the water!

Often there’s a known connection with Britain and Ireland and discovering family roots adds to the fun. Just occasionally that connection becomes even more poignant. To read an account of Joy Rousay from Canada’s discovery, please visit our Blog page:

Tenby, St Davids and the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path
17th–24th May 2025

The ancient walled town of Tenby, situated on the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path with its picturesque harbour and narrow streets, provides the perfect base for our journey along the Pembrokeshire coast. Along the Way we spend a day on the beautiful Island of Caldey and another in St Davids, the smallest city in the UK. We’ll also walk out to the wonderfully atmospheric birthplace of St David on the coast at St Non’s.

Way of St Aidan Highlights, Ireland: May 18th-23rd

Holy wells, beachside pine forests, storytelling houses with thatched roofs and roaring log fires, panoramic mountain views, a Celtic monastery, the oldest Marian shrine in Ireland and famous Irish hospitality – St Aidan’s Way has it all.

In May we will follow in the footsteps of St Aidan, the young sixth century Irish monk, as he journeyed from Ferns in Co. Wexford to the coast at Our Lady’s Island to be with his mentor St David in Wales. This route is part of the Wexford-Pembrokeshire Pilgrim Way that recently rediscovered this ancient pilgrimage route from Ireland to Wales, connecting the Celtic cousins across the Irish Sea and re-imagining the route for 21st century pilgrims.

Pilgrims who are re-tracing their Irish roots particulary enjoy our stops at the Irish National Heritage Park in Wexford and at Johnstown Castle which is the home of the Irish Agricultural Museum.

From our base on the beach at Ballyvaloo retreat centre we explore this beautiful and varied landscape, making new friends and creating experiences that will live with us forever. This journey is really not to be missed: https://www.journeying.co.uk/journeys-2025?id=949915
