Great Glen Way, Scotland- a peaceful and enjoyable walk.

Walked the Great Glen Way in May 24. It's a lovely peaceful route along canal tow paths, beside lochs and through lots of pine forest, with a few beautiful moorland stretches too. Everything went to plan, signposting is very good (even on diversions) and we were really lucky that we had no rain whilst walking and no midges! A few steep uphill pulls but overall fairly gentle gradients. A really enjoyable walk.

Our 6th holiday with Mickledore. We were due to travel last year but had to cancel due to illness. However Mickledore were really helpful in rearranging our trip. Staff are easy to contact via phone or email. Organisation and information for trip was first class, and accomodation (a mix of small hotels and b&bs) was all attractive, clean, and mindful of walkers requirements. Couldn't fault anything.

A Fabulous Experience in the Scottish Highlands through Mickledore

We began at Fort William, and ended at Inverness. In between we stayed at a number of fabulous B&Bs, and the transport of luggage was great. We are senior citizens and everything worked very well for us. We took the longer option so we didn’t go as far each day as some might have, but we still walked a good amount each day and were very satisfied with what we did.

Mickledore was fantastic, and the people I communicated with were always very quick to respond and extremely helpful. We will use them again if we are healthy enough to do another walk! I will never forget our wonderful experience.

Relaxing on the Great Glen Way

Mickledore recommended the Great Glen Way, walking South West to North East from Fort William to Inverness, This walk starts out along the river and canal that connects the lochs together so is relatively flat. The middle section provides some elevation allowing for excellent long views across the Scottish highlands and up and down the lochs. Overall, this walk is in the Easy to Moderate range. Mickledore's thorough planning enabled us ...

Mickledore recommended the Great Glen Way, walking South West to North East from Fort William to Inverness, This walk starts out along the river and canal that connects the lochs together so is relatively flat. The middle section provides some elevation allowing for excellent long views across the Scottish highlands and up and down the lochs. Overall, this walk is in the Easy to Moderate range. Mickledore's thorough planning enabled us to relax since we didn't have to worry about where we would stay, breakfasts, lunches or luggage. The B&B Operators even provided food selections that accommodated our Vegan diet.

Rating for tour operator:

We selected Mickledore because of the timeliness of their initial response to our inquiry. The team at Mickledore was responsive, understanding and provided a contact who could help with train tickets and other transportation. The pamphlet, guide book and map provided by Mickedore for the Great Glen Way provided excellent directions and information about the region. Mickledore made sure that our self-guided holiday was flawless.

Mickledore walking holidays

We have taken five trips with Mickledore (England and Scotland). Every one of them has been great. Very well organized, and fine accommodations. We plan to take more trips with them!
