Pilgrimage: St Aidan’s Way Highlights
Journeying – Follow in the sixth century footsteps of St Aidan as he travelled through Co. Wexford, from Ferns to Our Lady’s Island on his way to meet St David of Wales. Rather than walk the whole 95km pilgrimage route, you walk the highlights, to allow more time to explore the places of special interest along and walk the parts that are most scenic, quiet and enjoyable.
