The Reverend Kate Bottley is in the north east to mark the 50th anniversary of the Cleveland Way, one of Britain’s favourite national trails. She joins a group walking the part known as the pilgrimage route, from Helmsley Castle to Rievaulx Abbey. There she speaks to historian Dr Michael Carter to discover what life was like for the 600 monks who lived there during the 12th century, and Katherine Jenkins performs John Rutter’s beautiful Gaelic Blessing among the ruins of the abbey. JB Gill is north of the Cleveland Way in Middlesbrough, at a restaurant giving people a second chance in life, and we visit Scargill House in Yorkshire, the Christian centre that’s been welcoming visitors for 60 years. Plus music from all around the country, celebrating the beauty of God’s creation.
