In Spiritual Places (The Inspired Traveller's Guide), travel journalist Sarah Baxter has carefully curated a selection of the most spiritual destinations from around the world.

From the manmade splendour of the Easter Island Statues in Chile, to the medieval pilgrimage of Camino de Santiago that stretches to Spain, travellers are increasingly seeking the peace and serenity of spiritual sites as sanctuaries from a politically fractious and unstable world. Whether they are places of natural beauty inscribed with religious significance or sites constructed for worship, these locations are essential destinations on treks and adventures.
