COVID19 or no COVID19, 2020 is Year of Cathedrals, Year of Pilgrimage
Welcome to English Cathedrals
Soaring spires, spectacular vaulted ceilings and a rich spiritual and historical heritage, our cathedrals are wonders of architecture and sanctuaries of peace. With fascinating treasures and secrets spanning a thousand years, they offer a window on Britain’s history, while the daily rhythm of prayer and worship in every cathedral is at the core of their mission.
2020 Year of Cathedrals, Year of Pilgrimage, sees a remarkable number of individual cathedral anniversaries and initiatives that will help to tell their stories, past and present. There will also be a host of new pilgrim routes leading to cathedrals, highlighting the importance of spiritual, mental and physical well-being.
2020 is Year of Cathedrals, Year of Pilgrimage.

Throughout 2020 we’ll be posting a photo from one of the cathedrals to illustrate the rhythm of their daily life.

We think this is impossible, so we've included every single one on our website. And included Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
