The John Bunyan Trail Pilgrimage. May to September 2025

Description

Follow in the footsteps of John Bunyan across the beautiful Bedfordshire countryside. From

Pavenham, north of Bedford, to Streatley, just north of Luton, this 82 mile circular walk

explores some key places in Bunyan’s life and also some of his inspiration for Pilgrims

Progress.

The walk will be broken down into 10 sections, ranging from 5 to 10.5 miles, and

participants can do as many or as few sections as they wish. Each day will start with 9:45am

morning prayer. We will visit a few churches on the way, and finish with a drink in a pub

at the end. Participants are asked to bring their own packed lunch and water for the walk.
