"We had an excellent time and I loved your guide! I especially liked the information about all the churches, it was easily digestible and helped us on our hunt to find the elusive stamps!

There was something very magical about arriving in Walsingham at the end of the day, seeing all of the snowdrops and going into the Anglican shrine

Thanks for creating such a lovely guide, it made the walk all the more special."
