The Archbishop of York started the six-month pilgrimage in Whitby earlier
The Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu has begun a six-month pilgrimage around the North East.
Archbishop Sentamu will spend six days in each of the 21 deaneries of the Diocese of York and will be walking "a sizeable distance" through them all.
The pilgrimage started with a visit to Whitby, which is in the Archdeaconry of Cleveland.
He will travel through the Archdeaconry of the East Riding and finish at York Minster on 22 May next year.
Archbishop Sentamu embarked on a similar journey in 2005 when he was the Bishop of Birmingham.
He said: "My prayers have led me to this pilgrimage.
"I want to pray with people and I want to bless all that is fantastic and all that is wonderful."
