Week-long guided tour along the whole route – Monday 4th May – Sunday 10th May 2026
Join Andrew Kelly, founder of the Augustine Camino, for an unforgettable week-long pilgrimage from Rochester Cathedral to the Shrine of St Augustine in Ramsgate via Aylesford, Faversham and Canterbury. The leisurely pace of ten miles per day will allow plenty of time for sightseeing and conversation. Andrew knows all about the religious, historical and artistic significance of the places encountered en-route, is an accomplished storyteller and genial walking companion. Pilgrims will hear about St Augustine and his mission to convert the English, stay in a medieval monastery, explore the two oldest cathedrals in England and see work by the greatest Victorian architects including Augustus Pugin and George Gilbert Scott.
The cost is £60 per person per day and this includes accommodation booking, itinerary planning, baggage transfers and Andrew’s services as guide. You should budget about £45 per person per night for shared accommodation or £80 approx for single occupancy depending on availability. For some nights there is the option of Sanctuary where you sleep on a church or hall floor for £15 or £20. The usual accommodation can be seen here Accommodation – Augustine Camino. Most breakfasts are included but other meals are extra – there are plenty of cafes, pubs, restaurants or shops for picnic ingredients.
