Great experience and well worth the money. Mickledore is a great company to go with. They do all the leg work, accommodation, mapping, miles to walk each day, details of where to eat in the evening. Good communication from the moment of booking to the end of the holiday.

Wonderful Adventure Walking St Cuthbert's Way

This is the second holiday we have booked through Mickledore. The planning and preparation was spot on. The walk went smoothly. We met some amazing people en-route. The walking was great. The accommodation was overall really good. Luggage pick-up went smoothly. Overall a very stress free experience. The climax was walking the Pilgrim's Route from the mainland to Lindisfarne in bare feet!

All communications are professional and timely. If you have to phone you are greeted by people living in this country. Very happy with the service we have received.

West Highland Way by Shenanigan, 28 Oct 2023

Excellent organisation allowed us to think only of walking and soaking up the scenery.

We walked the west Highland Way in September 2023. The organisation and quality of accommodation was top class. We had a wonderful time. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Mickledore arranged the accommodation and transportation of our luggage. All the information provided was detailed and invaluable. Maps and guide books were easy to follow. I believe they thought of everything.

No fuss Adventure

We live in the US and love hiking in the UK. Mickeldore provide us with enough options to keep the two of us (one longtime hiker and one new to the game) challenged, deliriously happy and not arguing. What more could one want from a vacation?

Rating for tour operator:

We didn't't have a "tour operator" per se. It was just the two of us hiking from lodging to lodging, (booked by Mickeldore) using their maps and other support materials.

Thank you for your kind words about your self-guided walking holiday. Your satisfaction is our ultimate goal, and we look forward to assisting you on future journeys.

ANOTHER AMAZING WALKING HOLIDAY

We walked St Cuthberts Way from Melrose in the Scottish Borders to Holy Island. A holiday that was both energetic and relaxing plus full of amazing scenery and interesting ancient buildings.

Hadrian's Wall by Debbie J, 24 Oct 2023

How to make a 84 mile walk pleasurable!

My husband and I celebrated a 33rd wedding anniversary using Mickledore Travel to make all arrangements for our 84 mile hike of Hadrian's Wall. We ended up walking 108 miles in total. The accommodations were first rate and the food was excellent - including accommodating my vegan and allergy dietary restrictions. We were given phone assistance when we didn't have all the details on hand for our taxi and lots of helpful advice.

Coasting coast to coast: A memorable experience

Our Coast to Coast experience was the perfect holiday, walking through a variety of landscapes, picturesque villages and visiting historic sights. Following in Wainwright's footsteps, we enjoyed every part of this walk, from the challenging climbs (and weather) in the Lake District, the beauty of the Pennines, through to the stark and misty North Yorkshire moors. Having waited a year to do this walk it did not disappoint.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickeldore was our tour operator and provided an outstanding experience. Their level of organisation ensured everything went smoothly - the accommodation, transport of bags and provision of all necessary information to guide the walk. They repliesd promptly to all our enquiries and were flexible in their scheduling, fitting in with the pace at which we wanted to complete the journey.
