Welcome to all visitors - Tourists, Seekers and Pilgrims

A place where your mind can be idle, and forget its concerns, descend into silence, and worship in secret.— Thomas Merton

Small Pilgrim Places are:

Spaces for pondering, breathing, meditating, praying and ‘being’
Small places, not those already on the map, well-known, or that draw crowds;
Simple, quiet and unpretentious, with the presence of the Divine;
Places of worship, gardens, ruins, open spaces, holy wells, etc.;
Welcoming and inclusive.

The Small Pilgrim Places Network:

Brings together people who support the ethos of SPPs through prayer and practical support;
Encourages members to promote the key elements of SPPs - quiet prayer and meditation, hospitality, silence, space and simplicity not only in SPPs but also in their own personal situations;
Is mutually supportive, encouraging the exchange of experiences, inspiration and practicalities.
