Why is Walsingham a place of pilgrimage for Christians?

Walsingham is a significant place of pilgrimage for Christians, particularly for Roman Catholics and Anglicans, due to its association with the Virgin Mary. In the 11th century, a noblewoman named Richeldis de Faverches is said to have had a vision of Mary, leading to the construction of the original shrine. This site became known as the "Nazareth of England," attracting pilgrims seeking spiritual solace and healing. The annual pilgrimage continues to draw visitors who seek to deepen their faith and honor Mary.

No, because it is not commanded in the Bible. All that means is that one should not be coerced in to pilgrimage, it can be a joyful and rewarding experience as in Chaucers day.

The christians that do decide to pilgrimage, most commonly would be Catholics, would walk to a place with spiritual or religious significance. For example, Walsingham is an important place for christians to go because it was believed a woman was visited by the Angel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary in a dream who inspired her to build a replica of Jesus' place where he was born.
