Coast to Coast by Mr B A 18, 6 Sep 2018

Coast to Coast in the sun

As with many people this summer, the Coast to Coast in 16 days was a wonderful trip. Our accommodation was great, the walking and scenery was first class, enhanced by the fact we had no rain and the people we met provided great company, several of whom we have kept in touch with.

We have used Mickledore several times before and never been disappointed. I enquired about the C2C quite late and Mickledore went the extra mile (a walking pun there) to arrange things and arrange alternative accommodation and transfers where the usual places weren't available.

Walking along Hadrian's wall path

Our family of 5 walked from Corbridge to Brampton and stayed in wonderful B&B's along the way. Our luggage was transported and we were given a packed lunch when we left each place. We had time to stop at some of the Roman forts along the way and saw most of what's left of Hadrian's wall - amazing!

Mickledore organised everything really well and chose lovely B&B's for us to stay in. They managed to find accommodation for the 5 of us (which can sometimes be a challenge!) and sent all the relevant information including suggested places to eat our evening meals, detailed directions to each place and of course maps and guides books for the walk itself.

West Highland Way by Jane from Boston, 30 Aug 2018
Holiday Rating:

Incredible West Highland Way honeymoon!

My husband and I were so excited to escape to the highlands for our honeymoon. I had heard wonderful things about the West Highland Way, and it certainly did not disappoint! My husband and I ended each day trying to decide if it was better than the last, and the truth was the scenery was always so epic it was impossible to choose which day's walking was the best!

I have used Mickledore twice before to book vacations and knew I could count on them to help us make the most of our trip. Everything was taken care of for us so we just had to show up and enjoy ourselves in the beautiful highland's of Scotland. Mickledore took the time to tell all our accommodations it was our honeymoon, so often when we arrived exhausted from walking we were treated like royals and pampered with champagne and chocolate! It made us feel so special! I recommend Mickledore to all of my American friends, and so far all have returned from their vacations loving the experience as much as I do!

Thank you for your kind comments. It is great that you had such a special and memorable time on your honeymoon and enjoyed your walk. Congratulations to you both.

Wonderful Wall walking

We walked Hadrian's Wall from Wallsend to Carlisle with four children (13, 11, 10 and 6) and enjoyed every step! The fabulous views were met with equally fabulous B&Bs and hosts.

Pembrokeshire Coast Path by Paul oz, 22 Aug 2018

Pembrokeshire coastal trail

Lovely 5 days /6 nights coastal walk. We overestimated how many miles per day we should walk🚶‍♀️ I’d recommend doing the relaxed version which at 10miles per day is still challenging for this undulating kind of terrain

A lovely - and challenging! - walk on the SW Coast Path

We walked for four days from Exmouth to Lyme Regis on the SW Coast Path with days off in between to explore this lovely area of the U.K.

Rating for tour operator:

This is our seventh straight year of having Mickledore organize our walk in the U.K. They have never disappointed us, providing us always with lovely accommodations, excellent materials for our self-guided walks, and all the information we could possibly need to make our holiday a wonderful experience.
