Hadrian's Wall Traveller Reviews

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

Mickledore Travel did a fantastic job of organising the accommodation for my trip, and provided great advice about the trail and things to see and do along the way. Really brilliant

6 day 7 night walk of the Hadrian's wall in northern England.

Mickledore arranged our accommodations, luggage and people transfers as required. Their selection of BNB's was excellent and greatly enhanced our experience. The Mickledore staff was very responsive during the planning process and during our vacation.

A splendid walking tour of a beautiful part of the country. Great pubs great views, great history, great company.

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.

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.

Friendly staff, everything was organised and it all went perfectly. The information provided was very in depth and every place we stayed was fantastic.

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 scenery.

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!

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 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.

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.

Perfect organisation, a wonderful team, very very nice hotels/Bed & Breakfast with friendly hosts. Every day we got a lovingly pepared Lunchpackage at our option. Bacfk since 5 days and we are looking for our next holidays with Mickledore

So friendly - and everything was well prepared

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.

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.

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.

Very well organized, very professional, recommended by everyone and very efficient.

Had a fantastic holiday walking Hadrian's Wall East to West. Accommodation was great and everything went smoothly.

Very friendly and helpful from very first phone call. Everything was taken care of accommodation, luggage transfer, packed lunches and taxi transfers. Excellent standard of accommodation. Guide book was invaluable too. Will definitely be booking again.
