Original audio guides at culturally significant sites along the trail — from the Norman doorway of St Bees Priory to the smugglers' alleys of Robin Hood's Bay, with the mysterious Nine Standards cairns in between. Free. In your headphones. While you walk.
Tap any pin to listen.
Listen to multiple guides and the catalogue starts working as a single piece. Three stories thread through it.
St Bees Priory (a Benedictine house with a superb Norman doorway) → Shap Abbey (the last abbey founded in medieval England) → Mount Grace (the best-preserved Carthusian charterhouse of hermit-monks). A thread of devotion and dissolution along the walk.
Nine Standards Rigg (nine ancient cairns nobody can fully explain — dummy sentinels against the Scots?) → Richmond Castle (where King Arthur is said to sleep beneath the keep) → Beggar's Bridge (a packhorse arch built so no lovers would be parted by the river).
By tradition you dip your boots in the Irish Sea at St Bees and pick up a pebble to carry the whole way across England — then throw it into the North Sea when you reach Robin Hood's Bay. Two guides bookend the walk.
Same audio, but the app cache-downloads each guide for offline use, triggers playback when you approach a site by GPS, and remembers where you stopped. The web pages are perfect for planning at home. The app is for walking.
