如同喬叟筆下的朝聖者，沿著14世紀以來舊路一周遊
作者步行、騎自行車，駕駛著MG跑車，從溫徹斯特出發，前往坎特伯雷。

Like Chaucer’s Pilgrims, but With a Sports Car
By foot, bike and MG, a writer undertakes a journey from Winchester to Canterbury, along a route taken since at least the 14th century.

《紐約時報》
如今，朝聖者之路由一系列公共人行道、馬和鋪砌小徑組成，它們與國家步道——北唐斯步道——平行，有時甚至重疊。北唐斯步道是二戰後為吸引城市居民前往鄉村而建造的。

Today, the Pilgrims’ Way is a series of public footpaths, bridle ways and paved lanes that parallels and sometimes coincides with a national trail, the North Downs Way, created in a post-World War II effort to get urban people into the countryside.
