Southern Schools' Quaker Pilgrimage

Each September sixth form students from the 4 southern Quaker schools in the UK ( Sidcot, Sibford, Leighton Park and Saffron Walden ) and Waterford in Ireland trace the footsteps of the founder of Quakerism, George Fox, to where the Society of Friends was originally founded in the Lake District. ( The northern Quaker schools run a similar pilgrimage the week before).
