Mickledore Tours: A Great UK Coast to Coast Adventure

My friend and I recently embarked on an ambitious adventure – the 185-mile UK Coast to Coast Walk / Hike with Mickledore Walking Tours and it was fantastic. Great country, great food, and great people - what a trip!

Rating for tour operator:

Just finished our UK Coast to Coast Walk with Mickledore Walking Tours and it was fantastic. From planning to the walk itself, everything was seamless. Their excellent organization ensured perfectly timed luggage transfers and comfortable accommodations. The B&Bs were awesome with great food and a warm welcome, allowing us to unwind after each day's walk. Breakfast and lunch arrangements were equally on par – wonderful meals, organized upfront and prepared by the bed-and-breakfast for us to enjoy first thing in the morning and on trail - fantastic. Mickledore's staff was friendly and knowledgeable, always available for questions and recommendations. The upfront communication between us and Mickeldore was professional, pertinent, and spot on. That, along with all the provided materials allowed us to prepare ahead of time and concentrate on just enjoying the experience of hiking the C2C. Mickledore's meticulous organization, knowledge friendliness and professionalism made our trip. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a well-organized and enjoyable hiking holiday in the UK.

Cotswold Way by Outdoorjive, 23 Jun 2024

Lovely walk along the Cotswold Way

We had a lovely holiday walking the 102mile Cotswold Way with Mickledore. The surroundings are beautiful with enough variety along the way to keep you interested. Wonderful woodland, amazing wildflower meadows, and some very pretty villages and towns. For those who like walking holidays in the uk this is to be recommended, especially in May and June.

Everything went smoothly. No hitches with B&b bookings, taxi transfers and luggage transportation. The accommodation was generally of a good to excellent standard. A couple of rooms were on the small side. Otherwise I would certainly recommend.

Spectacular walk on the breathtaking Gower Peninsular

We had a wonderful trip experiencing the diverse geography of the Gower from the salt marshes of the estuary in the north to the spectacular undeveloped beaches of Rhossili and beyond to the lovely resort of the Mumbles in the south.

This was our fifth trip with Mickledore and have always found them to be excellent. The maps and information provided are comprehensive and invaluable. The B and B accommodation was of high quality and we enjoyed meeting the lovely people who hosted us along the way. Arrangements such as taxi transfers to the route were well organised and worked seamlessly. All in all a lovely walk with everything taken care. We have no hesitation in recommending Mickledore strongly.

Rating for tour operator:

They offer tours that are well-designed with the option to easily customize them, and excellent customer service. The accommodations they arrange are high quality and the day-to-day arrangements are always uncomplicated and effort-free. They provide comprehensive written materials to support you during the walk: 1) guidebook, 2) map, 3) booklet detailing each day's accommodations with directions, phone numbers, and email addresses , and 4) curated lists of restaurants, ATMs, post office, etc. located along the route.

I have used Mickledore many times and will continue to do so. They are always reliable, thorough, well planned and easy to communicate with..

I have done many walks with Mickledore (West Highland Way, Great Glen Way, SW Coastal Path, Coast to Coast, Cotswolds Round, Thames Path) and I plan to do many more (Northumberland Coast next on the list). All have been seamlessly organised with a high standard of accommodation, reliable luggage transfer and useful trail information. The staff are responsive and knowledgeable. I recommend them without hesitation. They are my walking company ...
