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.

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.

A rain soaked few days on the Best of the Cumbria Way

The hope had been a few glorious autumn days, soaking up the beautiful colours and revelling in the fresh air on the middle part of the Cumbria Way. The reality was two days of non-stop rain, paths that were streams, streams that were raging torrents and gloomy black mountains all around. Having said that, we had such fun. We knew each night we would have a comfortable, dry and warm hotel room to go back to and that our main luggage would be ...

Rating for tour operator:

Very efficient. Emails were responded to swiftly, the information pack provided was extremely helpful and the accommodation we were booked into was clean and comfortable. Everything was organised very well, meaning a stress free holiday. All we had to do was turn up.

Perfect walking the Hadrian's Wall trail

From Tynemouth to Bowness, 7 days of brilliant walking and sightseeing. The geography and scenery of Northumbria and Cumbria is very special in its own right, but add the brilliant Hadrian's Wall into the mix too, and this turns into a truly amazing part of England

Vistas, birds, and breakers on the SWCP

I had a fortnight's holiday walking from Minehead to Padstow in September 2023. I enjoyed taking an extra day in Appledore during the Book Festival week.

A fantastic walk along the Dingle Way

We did the walk in eight days. All of the information provided by Mickledore was accurate and very helpful. The accommodations were lovely and the baggage transport was on time.

This is the sixth time that I have used Mickledore Travel, the first time was in 2006 walking the Wainwright Coast to Coast. Mickledore has always been professional, responsive and helpful. Last year we needed to make some changes to our trip and they were more than willing to work with us to manage the change.
