Celtic Cross on named discSt Cuthbert's Way

Northumberland, Borders

101 km / 63 miles
The Way was inspired by the life of St Cuthbert, who began his ministry at Melrose in 650 AD, eventually becoming the Bishop of Lindisfarne. The route provides a link over the Cheviot Hills between the Southern Upland Way (at Melrose) and the Pennine Way National Trail (at Kirk Yetholm) with the Northumberland Coast Path.

St Cuthbert's Way was voted in the top ten of LDWA members' favourite Long Distance Paths in a 2022 survey to mark the Association's 50th anniversary.
