Here’s my list of churches and hostelries along or near the Pilgrims’ Way (Winchester to Canterbury) where you can stamp your passport. They are often found by the guest book by the door, sometimes on a table at the back. I began with a list I found online but it wasn’t accurate, plus we found several not listed anywhere. The listings in blue I can confirm are there in 2023 and we are working our way along.
If you know of one not listed, please leave me a comment.
Winchester Cathedral, you can buy a passport in the gift shop, or just use your own note book or paper
