Mickledore Travel Traveller Reviews

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.

It is a superb walk, with stunning scenery along the way. The route includes babbling rivers, teaming with wildlife, quaint villages and desolate moors. The pubs and B&Bs are excellent, with very friendly owners and delicious breakfasts.

Mickledore were excellent, providing a superb service with booking the accommodation and providing all the essential information we needed about facilities along the route, places to eat, maps and a great guide book, which highlighted points of interest along the route.

It was Cotswold Round walking holiday for 7 nights, covering approximately 60 miles over 6 days, starting and finishing in Cheltenham. The itinerary and all the support services were excellent. Mickledore's communications were timely and efficient. Supporting materials were more than adequate.

They specialise in long distance walking, their offerings cover most of the designated walks and some more. The operations are competently run and give good value for money.

We had a lovely journey walking along the Thames Path, staying overnight at selected inns and hotels, visiting small villages on the way. We completed the journey at the Thames Path Barrier, a fantastic feat of architecture and engineering!

We walked the SW Coastal Path from St Ives to Coverack, 145km in 6 days. Superb scenery, great hotels and food, and nearly 6 days of solid sunshine.

This was our 5th holiday with Mickledore. As always they provided top class support to ensure the holiday went smoothly, and booked us into the best accommodation we could hope for. They've never let us down!

Really well organised. A wonderful experience!
