The Via Francigena is the ancient pilgrim route from Canterbury
to Rome – 1900 kms through some of the most beautiful and
dramatic scenery in England, France, Switzerland and Italy. Nick
Dunne resumes his walking pilgrimage at The Crowned Mountain, the
medieval hilltop city of Laon in Picardy, for a journey which takes
him through the battlefields of the Chemin des Dames to Besançon
and Lausanne and along the route of Napoleon’s daring military
expedition across the Alps to Aosta. The pilgrimage introduces him
to a Christian heritage lost in Britain and to questions of Faith that
bemuse believers and non-believers alike. The normal routines of life
are disturbed on this challenging journey where even small acts of
kindness can illuminate a pilgrim’s day.
Nick Dunne has been a social and community worker for over
40 years and, until his retirement in 2021, was Director of the
community charity, Bede House, in south London. He is currently
Chair of Trustees of the Confraternity of Pilgrims to Rome, a charity
that promotes the Via Francigena to walkers and cyclists from across
the world.
