Speyside Way by Mr M E 19, 13 Jun 2019

Walking the Speyside Way

Six of us walked the Speyside Way from Buckie to Aviemore, about 90 miles, over six days. We used Mickledore to arrange accommodation and transport of luggage from hotel to hotel. They were brilliant, as usual. The walk was varied, sometimes on disused railway track, sometime through woods and over hills. One day we took the Tomintoul Spur, a taxi to the high town and a walk back mostly downhill and across wilder country than the actual Speyside ...

Brilliant views along the way, points of interest and a warm welcome everywhere

Our wonderful Arran Coastal Way May 2019

We did the Arran Coastal Way by Mickledore Travel in May 2019 and experienced it as outstanding nature loving. Being with the warm people of Arran and enjoying the beautiful nature of the Isle we had a wonderful stay, again, in Scotland.

Mickledore made the reservations. First we were split over 2 accomodations at multiple locations, but when we asked to change it only the first night we had to split up. A problem with the luggage labels was handled quickly.

Wonderful walk in the Cotswolds

We had a 11-day walk with Mickledore. Everything was perfectly organised. We stayed in excellent B&B’s with very friendly hosts.

Dales Way by Frances, 30 May 2019

Idyllic Spring ramble in Upper Wharfedale

We are two senior Aussies whose vision of a Yorkshire idyll was fulfilled by this walk through woodland and across moors. Drifts of bluebells and buttercups, pungent fragrance of wild garlic, fat lambs and green as far as the eye could see. Not to mention cosy pubs and hearty Yorkshire food.

West Highland Way by Judith, 29 May 2019

8 wonderful days on the West Highland Way

I'd been wanting to do this walk for some time and finally took the plunge. It lived up to expectations, every day brought a change of scenery and somewhere friendly and comfortable to spend the night. This was my 6th Mickledore holiday and totally lived up to the high standards which I've come to take for granted.

Mickledore provide a complete service, from accommodation to route details and all the information you are likely to need on the walk - from ATMs to pharmacies and coffee stops. As a solo walker, I feel confident that, should any problem arise, support is available.

Cotswold Way by Sigmasailor, 28 May 2019

Cotswold way; our first Mickledore experience (we will be back for more)

Fantastic walk, very well organised by Mickledore. All the B&B's (+one hotel) were good to excellent. We liked to be able to walk from B&B to B&B, so much more rewarding than using shuttles some other travel agents use. Mickledore took care of our luggage too, absolutely no stress or hiccups. The information supplied (three months before the actual walk) was more than adequate.
