Hadrian's Wall Traveller Reviews

I walked the Hadrian’s Wall Path from east to west in eleven days and I enjoyed every stage. The landscape is wonderful, the remains of the Roman Empire quite interesting and the old villages, churches and farms along the path had this real British character I like. I walked alone but was never lonesome as I met with nice people along the path and was received by friendly and helpful hosts in the B&Bs and Inns that were booked for me by Mickledore.

I booked the holiday with Mickledore - Walking Holidays, which I found on the internet and that appeared to be a good choice. Everything was perfect: the information, communication, accommodations and luggage courier: Top!

A week walking with all accommodation and luggage transfers arranged by Mickledore. Excellent daily directions and mapping. A first rate experience from start to finish.

Our third booking with Mickledore. As always, very flexible to meet our needs. All contact was excellent and very efficient. The accommodation was all very good. All parts of the holiday including luggage transfers worked like clockwork. Will definately be booking again.

Three ladies from Denmark and Norway, we walked from Corbridge to Carlisle along the Hadrians Wall trail. Roman remains, northern English landscape, a variety of accommodation and food gave us a good holiday experience. Perhaps we should have walked from west to east as we were unlucky with strong wind and rain, but starting in Corbridge village and ending in Carlisle town suited us well.

Mickledore provided what they offered and promised. Accommodation, luggage transport and information worked well, also straight forward payment from abroad.

We traveled the whole Hadrian's Wall Path from Segedunum to Bowness On-Solway I 8 days in a group of 9 people in great harmony. The most exciting part are the 3 central stages when you walk alongside Adriano's wall. Many people travel this itinerary in the opposite direction for meteorological issues, but the construction of the wall took place from east to west.

We had a problem with a taxi arrived late and a refund was recognized for the inconvenience. We needed to call Mickledore for a delay in luggage transport and we found an immediate response for the solution of the problem.

Mickledore gave our complex booking (which involved an older party and quite a lot of vacillation!) a lot of patient attention and gave excellent advice. The route was good, with great views and lots of help from the maps supplied. A highlight however was the accommodation which was much appreciated at the end of a long day. All the hotels and guest houses had comfortable, high quality and sometimes very stylishly designed accommodation with friendly staff who literally couldn't have done more to help, and the food available on site and for packed lunches was absolutely excellent. The taxi transfers where we had them were done by cheerful, charming and timely locals who really added to the experience! We had to book in one extra independent traveller at the last minute and they were also helpful with advice for this which made it possible for her to add herself to the party and travel alongside us.

Mickledore are based in Keswick and seem to have excellent relationships with all their suppliers. The suppliers are evidently keen to impress them and feel they need to keep up high standards. The whole booking system is very efficient with great online payment facilities and excellent access to the guides and booking details online.

Everything was organised perfectly with good quality accommodation and information. All queries answered very quickly.

Helpful and friendly Mickledore walking holiday.

Mickledore Travel were the only operator to offer a bespoke holiday. We wanted to take part of their tour offer, and split it differently into shorter days, and this they did well, with good attention to detail.

They gave us personal treatment, and took into account our needs - not being so young and agile as their usual clientele. They supplied us with everything we needed, and everything worked like clockwork. Even when I asked a question that I later found in their notes, they replied promptly and without comment to our lack of attention.

Mickledore Travel Ltd

Excellent in every respect.

Professional, responsive and a very well-organised self-guided tour. This was particularly important as I was traveling from abroad and traveling alone. Realistically, I could never have made the arrangements as seamless as Mickledore did.

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.

Mickledore Travel were superb - end to end. They courteously and fully responded to all queries in a prompt fashion and facilitated all arrangements to ensure our walk went without hitches.
