Mickledore Travel Traveller Reviews

We walked about 2/3 of the Pennine Way, staying at accommodation arranged for us by Mickledore Walking Holidays

Efficient, reliable and very pleasant to deal with

We have walked the John Muir Way via Mickledore. The only thing you need to do is walk with a daypack. It’s a very beautiful route with lots of diversity in nature. Every place we have stayed has had its unique features. And the restaurants/ pubs had great food and nice drinks. The people we have met were very friendly and welcoming.

Mickledore has the best experience / knowledge of all the walking holidays they offer. They know the B&B / hotel / guesthouse owners and these people know Mickledore. Just mention Mickledore and it’s fine. Everything is arranged from route maps, where to find restaurants/ pubs/ banks/ shops/ post office/ doctors. The official route with book and the route to your local destination. A taxi to collect you from the trail or to the trail, if the B&B is not nearby the route. And Mickledore will arrange transportation for the bags to your next location. So a carefree holiday for us, so we can enjoy our walks the fullest. And the helpdesk of Mickledore (if needed), is just a phone call away.

They are an independent company based in England that takes care of all the planning for a multi day walking trip in the UK. They book all your accommodation La along the route and the planning of daily luggage transfer. Customer service is excellent. Both during the planning stage and along the trail they are there to support you.

We completed the Northumberland Coast Walk and the Gower Peninsula Walk in June and July 2025. We chose these 2 walks as we wanted a bit of variety for local culture, as well as wanting to spend time near the sea. The Northumberland was relatively flat as it followed the North Sea coastline. Lots of historic structures see and many quiet sections to walk. The path was restful and peaceful. The Gower Peninsula was a more hilly topography, with its ups and downs. The sandy climbs on the west shore opened onto wonderful sunny views of long beaches. The south shore had ever-changing, yet enjoyable weather as we traversed the small rocky canyons. And we got to experience some unique Welsh culture and history. What helped make this double walking tour holiday even better was the groundwork put in by our tour operator, Mickeldore Travel. Their staff personally visit the accommodations and restaurants they use and recommend. They made suggestions as to adjusting our walking dates in order that we had no inconveniences due to locale. This was our 4th and 5th walking tours with Mickeldore, and they made everything work perfectly as they did the first three.

Mickeldore specializes in walking tours for the British Isles. Each tour has accommodations secured, necessary ground transport arranged, and the necessary information, ie, maps, guidebook, contacts, recommendations, potential services needed, provided in both electronic and hardcopy.

We hiked through the English countryside, forests and small towns following The Cotswolds Way trail.
