You’re planning a pilgrimage route. What’s on your itinerary?
I would love to start at Durham Cathedral and to finish up on Lindisfarne. It’s the reverse pilgrimage of St Cuthbert, who started off on the Holy Island and is buried in Durham Cathedral. Durham is one of my favourite cathedrals: I like its very powerful Norman architecture and its setting is magnificent. Holy Island is somewhere I’ve been a few times. It’s physically very beautiful and when you think that it was the site of the first Viking raid – it’s extraordinary. It feels very spiritual to me.
