Milestone Ornaments
An ornament brings the route back out once a year.
One trail per ornament: the name, its outline, and the year you walked it, or no year at all if you would rather not date it. Your own photo can take the place of the watercolor artwork.
Packed away in January, unpacked in December, and a year of walking comes back with it. Several years of it make a tree that reads like a walking log.

The original Way — the one a king walked first.
Maybe it was the high Hospitales route with the ruins of the old shelters on the ridge and nothing else up there at all. Maybe it was Asturian rain, a village bar with one table, or the day the Primitivo drops down and joins the crowds again at Melide. Oviedo to Santiago over the mountains, the oldest pilgrim route of them all. This double-sided ceramic ornament brings that walk home: small enough to hang on a tree, solid enough to keep for decades.
On the front
- Basic carries a watercolor view of the Primitivo — the high ground, the green, the way ahead
- Customized carries your own picture from the walk instead
- Either way, the year you walked it sits below
On the back
A stylized map of the Camino Primitivo, from Oviedo through the mountains to Santiago de Compostela, with the trail's key stats and my own Camino symbol.
For your own tree, or for a pilgrim who took the hard route on purpose.
The Camino along the sea — quieter, greener, and harder than it looks.
Maybe it was the Basque coast in the first week, up and over one headland after another. Maybe it was Cantabria in the fog, an empty beach at seven in the morning, or the moment the route finally turns inland for Galicia. Irún to Santiago, with more climbing than anybody warns you about. This double-sided ceramic ornament brings that walk home: small enough to hang on a tree, solid enough to keep for decades.

For your own tree, or for a pilgrim who chose the long way round too.
Cliff, cove and headland — England's longest National Trail.
Maybe you walked all of it, or maybe one stretch that you keep coming back to: the north Cornwall cliffs, the coves nobody drives to, the Jurassic Coast in the last hour of light. Minehead to Poole Harbour, with the climbing arriving in short brutal instalments the whole way. This double-sided ceramic ornament brings that walk home: small enough to hang on a tree, solid enough to keep for decades.

For your own tree, or for the person who carried the other half of the picnic.
The Ring of Kerry the slow way, on old green roads.
Maybe it was the MacGillycuddy's Reeks appearing between two showers. Maybe it was an oak wood dripping after rain, a stretch of butter road nobody has used in a century, or the Atlantic finally showing up on the far side of the peninsula. Out of Killarney, right round Kerry, and back to it. This double-sided ceramic ornament brings that walk home: small enough to hang on a tree, solid enough to keep for decades.

Across the Alps on foot, from Bavaria to a palm tree in South Tyrol.
Maybe it was the first hut evening, boots off, everyone quiet. Maybe it was the high crossing where the weather turned and turned back, or walking down into Merano at the end and finding it warm, southern, and completely unlike where you started. Three countries, one main Alpine ridge, and a valley on the far side that looks like Italy because it is. This double-sided ceramic ornament brings that walk home: small enough to hang on a tree, solid enough to keep for decades.

Coast to coast along the edge of an empire.
Maybe it was the crags west of Housesteads, where the Wall runs along the cliff line and the whole of Northumberland opens out to the north. Maybe it was rain sideways across the moor, or a Roman fort with the barrack floors still legible under your boots. From Wallsend on the Tyne to Bowness-on-Solway, nearly two thousand years after somebody surveyed the line. This double-sided ceramic ornament brings that walk home: small enough to hang on a tree, solid enough to keep for decades.

High above the Rhine, castle after castle after castle.
Maybe it was a viewpoint over the Middle Rhine with barges pushing upstream far below. Maybe it was a vineyard path in the heat, or another set of ruins on another crag, or the fact that the trail keeps climbing out of the valley just to drop back into it. Bonn to Wiesbaden along the right bank, the hard side of the river. This double-sided ceramic ornament brings that walk home: small enough to hang on a tree, solid enough to keep for decades.

Chamonix to Zermatt, from one great mountain to the other.
Maybe it was a pass at first light with nobody else on it. Maybe it was the glacier you could hear before you could see it, or the moment the Matterhorn finally stood there at the end of the valley and the whole crossing made sense at once. High country across the Valais, pass after pass. This double-sided ceramic ornament brings that walk home: small enough to hang on a tree, solid enough to keep for decades.

FAQs
Everything happens on the product page itself.
On an ornament: choose the variant, then enter the year you walked the trail — or NONE, to leave the year off.
On a mug: three fields, all of them optional, printing as four lines. The labels — distance and elevation gain, the dates, a line of your own — are suggestions; what goes on them is up to you.
On either, choose the photo variant to send a picture of your own instead of the watercolor artwork. Tick the two boxes and add it to the basket.
A photo order is placed in the design by hand, and you get a proof before anything goes to print.
Both mugs and ornaments are ceramic and printed via sublimation (permanent artwork). Mugs handle everyday dishwasher/microwave use; ornaments are durable keepsakes (not meant for dishwashers/microwaves).
Getting your keepsake ready to print usually takes 2 to 6 business days, then printing and post. These are usual times, not a guaranteed arrival date.
Designed in France, printed in the EU, the US or Canada, whichever is closest to you.
It’s calculated at checkout by location and item. Mixed orders (e.g., a mug and an ornament) may ship separately and show separate shipping.
Within 24 hours of ordering, changes are still possible: get in touch. After that, nothing can be changed. Made-to-order products aren’t returnable unless there’s a print or transit issue.
Upload your image on the product page. There is nothing to crop or position — it is placed in the design by hand, and you get a proof before anything is printed. Good light and clear colours work best; anything over 1000 px on the long edge is fine. Sublimation has a gently softened look by design.
Yes. We use it only to create your keepsake and don’t share it.
