The Friends Way is a grand walk through some of the finest parts of the Yorkshire Dales. It combines glorious scenery with superb wildlife and striking geology, and visits many places that were crucial in George Fox’s journey of 1652. His long walk and discussions with Seekers led directly to the creation of the Society of Friends, first known as Quakers.
From Pendle Hill, where Fox had his vision, to Fox’s Pulpit, where he gave his ‘Sermon on the Fell’ to a crowd of over 1000, the route is steeped in Fox’s personal journey. This 62-mile Way ends at Sedbergh, a town rich in Quaker heritage, to be followed by two day-walks, one a circuit that takes in Fox’s Pulpit. The whole route can be completed comfortably inside one week. It will appeal not only to all Quakers who enjoy walking, but also to those walkers who don’t yet know the remarkable story of Fox’s 1652 journey and life.
