Passport

Pilgrim Passport Stamps
As a souvenir of your pilgrimage you can collect a “Pilgrim Passport” from the Greenfield Valley Visitor Centre at the start of the route at Basingwerk Abbey or from many of the churches along the route.
These passports can be stamped to record your travels. Look for a notice indicating that a passport stamp is kept in the building. The stamp and ink pad are usually to be found stored in a clear perspex box and available for you to use.
The stamps have been designed by primary school children from schools along the route of the North Wales Pilgrim’s Way. Artist Ruth Thomas worked with the children from Flintshire and Denbighshire while artist Eleri Jones completed the project in the Conwy and Gwynedd section. In all, 25 schools were involved in the project, learning all about pilgrimage and visiting sections of the route as well as developing artistic skills and experiencing the printing process.
While only one design could be chosen from each school to create the stamp, exhibitions were organised to showcase the work of as many children as possible in Oriel Pendeitsh, Caernarfon and Theatre Clwyd, Mold, while churches also exhibited their work.
