Mayflower Footsteps & Roots Road Trip Tour

The fascinating story of the Mayflower voyage, and the stories behind the Pilgrims, can be discovered with this trail around the important places and the significant people who are part of the narrative.

As the ship that transported English Separatist passengers – who became known as the Pilgrims – the Mayflower is one of the most important ships in history.

Sailing across the Atlantic more than 400 years ago, the passengers were heading towards a 'new promised land' where they would establish the Plymouth Colony in 1620.

With an opportunity to uncover the full story, you can travel from Worcester in the Midlands and learn about Edward Winslow's Worcestershire.

Travelling to the northern Pilgrim villages will reveal the history and narrative of the religious persecutions in England at the time and expose the motivations behind what drove the colonists forward.

Following the trail to the east coast to the Wash and beyond, learn of the first attempts to escape for a new life and about the imprisonment of some of the people who were held here.

Follow the nautical trail across the south coast tracing the various stops and starts of the Mayflower before culminating in Plymouth for the final chapter before the sailing in 1620. 

On this Mayflower Roots and Footsteps trail, you can choose your own voyage of discovery and decide where to begin your own story, following the trail to the places that interest you most, with our self-guided tour, maps and app. The tour guide is priced at £39.
