BBC One - Britain's Lost Routes with Griff Rhys Jones, Pilgrims

Griff retraces the medieval pilgrimage route from Holywell to St Davids.

Griff rediscovers a once well-trodden route, picking up the medieval pilgrim's staff to retrace the steps that thousands of worshippers made from Holywell to St Davids.

In a spectacular journey through the Welsh countryside, Griff picks up the staff of the medieval pilgrim to retrace the steps that thousands of worshippers made in medieval times from Holywell to St Davids. 

Walking with five hardy companions, he rediscovers a once well-trodden route that passes through remote mountain ranges and was exposed to attacks from bandits and many other dangers. Foraging for food and facing fast-flowing rivers, Griff and his fellow travellers come face to face with the perils of medieval travel. Following the arduous tradition of pilgrimage, walking sometimes in sackcloth and sometimes barefoot, they try to understand the lengths that men and women of the Middle Ages went to in the name of penitence. Passing through beautiful villages, discovering gems of the medieval world from grand manor houses to ancient churches, encountering miracles and relics, bathing in holy wells and washing feet, Griff and his band explore how the British holiday has its roots in the observance of holy days.
