Reviews of Hadrian's Wall
How to make a 84 mile walk pleasurable!
My husband and I celebrated a 33rd wedding anniversary using Mickledore Travel to make all arrangements for our 84 mile hike of Hadrian's Wall. We ended up walking 108 miles in total. The accommodations were first rate and the food was excellent - including accommodating my vegan and allergy dietary restrictions. We were given phone assistance when we didn't have all the details on hand for our taxi and lots of helpful advice.

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

Rating for tour operator:Mickledore were excellent from the start - answered all questions promptly and were fantastic throughout. They supplied great maps, guides and documents. They have some great partnerships with local accommodation and transport providers - everything that they organised for us went without a hitch.
We're delighted you enjoyed your walking holiday with us. Your kind words about the trip and our team are greatly appreciated. We can't wait to have you join us again for another memorable experience. Hayley
A true adventure
It was a family trip that combined: quality time together, a sense of adventure, history, culture, isolation from the city, and spectacular scenery. It was such a wonderful experience to have a daily challenge of our walk and to get to our accommodation for good food and lots of good discussion about our day. It was so well organised that we had no stress and could just enjoy the journey.

The Perfect Walking Holiday Experience
We had a wonderful holiday walking the Hadrian's Wall Path and staying in pre-arranged B&Bs along the way, The complete walk goes from Tynemouth to Solway on Bowness, and although there is not evidence of the wall all along this path, it's still a lovely, fairly undemanding walk. The most demanding days are between Chollerford and Gilsland, with lots of ups and downs, but for the most part you are next to the wall with amazing views and spectacular ...

Rating for tour operator:We have walked the Hadrian's Wall Path with Mickledore twice - once in each direction. They take all the hard work out of planning and booking accommodation, transporting our luggage from place to place, and organising breakfasts and packed lunches. All we had to do was organise an evening meal and enjoy our walk ... and it all works like a dream! We are already looking at next year's walk to somewhere different; the only difficulty is choosing where, since the choice of destinations is huge!
We're excited to hear you had a great walking holiday experience. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we're here whenever you're ready to explore more destinations. Hayley
Touring Roman Ruins along the Hadrian's Wall Path
After a stay-over in Tynemouth my wife and I walked from the Segedunum Roman Fort at Wallsend to Bowness-on-Solway over the course of eight days. We very much enjoyed our 'self-guided tour,' being able to walk at our own pace and being able to stop to see the ruins and museums of the Corbridge Roman Town, Chester's Roman Fort, the town of Vindolana, and the Roman Army Museum as well as the many milecastles and turrets to name a few. The farther ...

The farther one walks along this path the more one is impressed by the scale and magnitude of the wall. It is simply amazing. Each day offers unique scenery and views: rivers, long views of the undulating hills of Northumberland, Sycamore Gap, the view to the north from the upper edge of steep hills (almost cliffs) along with the many sheep, goats and herds of cows.
Rating for tour operator:Mickledore was very responsive to our initial inquiry which set them apart from other agencies. Even though the request was inside of the eight week window, Mickledore was able to set up an itinerary where the distances between B&B accommodations allowed us to pause to see the sites and vistas or have a cup of tea in the afternoon. The B&B Operators also took our Vegan Diet into consideration for both breakfasts and lunches. Since Mickledore did all of the planning, we were allowed to just relax and enjoy ourselves.
We are thrilled to receive your positive feedback about your walking holiday. Your satisfaction is our priority, and your words inspire us to continually improve. We look forward to assisting you with your future travel endeavors. Hayley

Thank you for your five star review, we are so glad you enjoyed your holiday and we look forward to booking another for you soon. Hayley
Great adventure, but uncooperative weather
We walked along Hadrian’s Wall this past summer. We chose to start in Carlisle and end in Corbridge rather than walk in the eastern marsh area and in Newcastle. The only thing they couldn’t arrange was the weather, which did not cooperate during this very rainy summer. We learned much about the Romans and enjoyed the beautiful countryside. The B & B’s were great. We had never done a “Walking Holiday” before.

Rating for tour operator:We used Mickledore to plan the walking holiday. Mickledore did a GREAT job arranging B & B’s, giving us detailed maps and books, giving us lots of information about where we could find restaurants, food, cash, toilets, taxis, buses, emergency aid, etc. It made us feel very comfortable taking this adventure. We also appreciated the many choices for how far to walk and how many days we wanted.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are glad you enjoyed your first walking holiday and I hope we can book many more for you in the future. Hayley
A perfect hike along the Hadrian's wall
Mickledore organized a perfect holiday, from the communication with the staff, the itinerary they cleverly suggested to the accomodation they selected. I had a ball, and I am recommending this path with Mickledore to everyone around me, while I am already preparing my next hike with Michledore.
