Ferrol → Neda

The first stage of the English Way from Ferrol is short and accessible, ideal for warming up your legs. You depart from the port of Ferrol, the historic landing point for English and Irish pilgrims during the Middle Ages. The route follows the Ferrol estuary, offering spectacular views of the waterway and shipyards. You cross the Caranza neighbourhood and continue along a coastal path that mixes paved sections with dirt tracks. The terrain is mostly flat with some gentle climbs. You pass through A Graña, a charming old fishing village, before arriving in Neda, a quiet town with a beautiful medieval bridge over the River Belelle. Neda has a pilgrim albergue, bars, and a small grocery shop.
