Day 14: Burnham Thorpe to Walsingham
Our journey's end at Walsingham beckons and the day should prove quite easy after some longer distances earlier in the pilgrimage, although hard surfaces are a feature today. We start with prayers in the church where Admiral Nelson's father was the vicar, and the Nelson link provides a very unique feature. We then head east to pass through the Holkham estate (reckoned to be one of the best in the land) and then head south mainly on quiet country lanes through pleasantly rolling terrain, curving east once again to our lunch stop. There are then less than 4 miles after lunch to complete our journey with a bit less than 2 miles being required to reach the Catholic shrine and a further mile and a half from there to the Anglican shrine and a final short distance to the hall.
