San t-sreath seo tha Iagan MacNèill a’cur eòlas air an dùthaich agus an eachdraidh air Slighe Naoimh Chuithbeirt.

Chaidh an t-slighe taistealach ainmeachadh airson an Naomh Cuithbeart, a bha, san t-seachdamh linn, na mhanach, na aonaran, na fhear-leighis agus na easbuig. Tha i ruith fad trì fichead mìle sa dha eadar Maolros sna Crìochan far an deach e na òige dhan mhanachainn, gu eilean naomh Lindisfarne far cladach Northumbria, far an deach a thiodhlagadh an toiseach. 

Sa phrògram seo, gabhaidh Iagan thairis air a’chrìoch gu Sasainn, a-null gu Gleann College far an cluinn e sgeulachd  Daraich Collingwood. Cumaidh e seachad air Yeavering Bell agus thèid e cuairt bheag air seachran gu làrach lùchairt nan seann Sasannach,  Ad Gefrin,  mus ruig e baile margaid Wooler. 

Iagan MacNeil finds out about the landscape and history along the St Cuthbert’s Way. The 62-mile-long pilgrims’ route, named for the 7th century hermit, healer and bishop, St Cuthbert, links Melrose Abbey in the Scottish Borders where Cuthbert began his religious life, with his original burial place on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne off the Northumbrian coast. 

Iagan crosses the border into England, visits College Valley where he hears about the Collingwood Oaks. He passes Yeavering Bell and takes a short detour to find out more about the Anglo-Saxon site of Ad Gefrin before arriving in the market town on Wooler.
