The Shepherd’s Trail
As part of our Shaun the Sheep Summer at Peterborough Cathedral, we invite you to pause and explore a quieter path through The Shepherd’s Trail—a series of gentle prayer and reflection stations inspired by the theme of Jesus as the Good Shepherd.
Woven throughout the Cathedral, these stations offer space to reflect on the ways Jesus guides, protects, and cares for each of us—just as a shepherd does for their sheep. Whether you’re young or old, familiar with faith or simply curious, these moments are open to all.
Take a moment to wonder, pray, or simply be still as you follow the footsteps of the Shepherd who knows each of us by name.
Come as you are. You are welcome in the flock.
Support Us
There are many ways that you can support Peterborough Cathedral. We rely on the generous donations of benefactors to sustain this magnificent site.
