2026 saw me walk from home to the city of Cardiff and from there follow the two-day pilgrimage route to Penrhys, a unique place in the Rhondda valley. I then continued west to the ancient cathedral at St Davids before walking home via Newcastle Emlyn and Llandovery. Along the way I was able to visit sites as varied as Ffald-y-Brenin, a Christian retreat centre near Fishguard, and Talley Abbey in Carmarthenshire. Above all, a very special four weeks exploring the rich history and diverse landscapes of south and west Wales.
