The 120-miles between Winchester and Canterbury pass through some of the south-east England’s prettiest towns\, villages and pastures. Between 1956 and today plenty has changed\, but despite the narrator’s grumblings about urban encroachment much is timeless. Like a good hike\, the film is not a race and takes its time to pause and wonder at its surroundings. \nHalfway through the film there are some great scenes of a mass pilgrimage through the streets of Guildford to the site of the new Cathedral. The event\, which took place on the 4th April 1955\, marked the much delayed start of the construction of the nave\, and was clearly a celebratory occasion for the town and its surroundings. \nThe film screening will be followed by a talk about the history of the route by Mandy Bright\, a North Downs Way Ambassador. \nThis film is part of Heritage Open Days and Walking Week \n  URL:https://www.hellodorking.com/event/pilgrims-way-film-screening-talk/ CATEGORIES:Events,Good Living Festival,Wellness & Culture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.hellodorking.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/38e54155-6c2d-43b2-81c9-1541ba6ee76b.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260921T091500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260921T110000 DTSTAMP:20260727T212020Z CREATED:20260714T213815Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260727T212020Z UID:14326-1789982100-1789988400@www.hellodorking.com SUMMARY:Dorking & Mole Valley Athletics Club: Monday Morning Social DESCRIPTION:This event is aimed at everyone\, from people who enjoy a leisurely stroll\, to trailrunners looking for a challenge.
