For those who not only hike the "Pilgrim's Way", which stands in an ancient Christian tradition, as a popular long-distance hiking trail for scenic or sporting pleasure, but who consciously want to be on a pilgrimage, you may find suitable suggestions on the following linked website =>> https://www.pilgrimways.org.uk/the-pilgrims-way-winchester-southwark-to-canterbury

The attentive hiker or pilgrim has repeatedly encountered a wide variety of types of crosses on his way: made of stone (often granite) or wood, with or without the body of the crucified Christ, artistically decorated or deliberately kept simple, towering high and thus dominating the surroundings from afar or rather smaller... This hiking highlight, however, is sure to take a top spot in the ranking of the most unusual crosses. It does not tower up, but is quite the opposite, cut into the ground so that the light background of this lying monument stands out clearly from the surrounding green of the lawn. The basic idea of such a design - known in technical jargon as geoglyps - is similar to the "Nazca Lines" in South America, which are thousands of years older; or, to give a much closer example, the "White Horse" on Uffington Hill (see https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/283565 ). The sad reason for its construction is to commemorate the victims of the First World War.
