The route of the Golden Valley Pilgrim Way sounds like something out of a medieval fairy tale. Beginning and ending at Hereford Cathedral, the path winds through the meadows and foothills of the Black Mountains before taking travellers past ruined castles, holy wells and sites from Arthurian legends. People can get their pilgrim passport stamped in village churches along the way, and those so inclined can stay in comfortable B&Bs and dine at gastro pubs. For the first time since the Middle Ages, pilgrims can sleep overnight in the cathedral’s cloisters.
