Brilliant walking holiday

In the spring of 2018 I walked the most beautiful section of the historic Hadrian's Wall trail in northern England, between Carlisle and Corbridge. It was a brilliant experience. Not only were the trail, the historic attractions and the weather gorgeous, but Mickledore had done a great job organising the trip for me, meaning I got to have dinner at lovely restaurants and stay overnight at superb B&Bs (several of which had bath tubs, which is ...

In the spring of 2018 I walked the most beautiful section of the historic Hadrian's Wall trail in northern England, between Carlisle and Corbridge. It was a brilliant experience. Not only were the trail, the historic attractions and the weather gorgeous, but Mickledore had done a great job organising the trip for me, meaning I got to have dinner at lovely restaurants and stay overnight at superb B&Bs (several of which had bath tubs, which is the best thing ever after a long walk). I also had my luggage transferred from B&B to B&B every day, meaning I didn't have to carry 20 kg on my back while walking, which was great (and surprisingly affordable). All in all, a superb experience.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore did a great job organising my trip for me. The B&Bs they had booked for me were uniformly excellent, the luggage transfers worked without a hitch (and were very affordable -- no single supplement!) and the information they gave me on the trail, public transport, where to have dinner, etc. was thorough and very useful. In short, I hugely enjoyed my holiday, and I will definitely book another walking holiday with Mickledore at some point.

Wonderful and eye opening

Because Mickledore took such excellent care of me my only concern was to enjoy myself. I couldnt get lost as the maps, supportive text and information were so well laid out. Each day i saw nature in all its glory and mans addition to it. Hadrians wall is something everyone should do especially with a company such as Mickledore as they make you feel so secure and looked after.

I have been on many holidays that offer the same service as Mickledore. Well they need to take lessons from Mickledore. From start to finish I felt so looked after and secure. Nothing had veen left to chance. They were so polite when you rang up. They did everythibg they said would and more.

Hadrian’s wall highlights with Mickledore walking holiday ays

90km along the most impressive stretch of Hadrian’s Wall in 4 days with a dog, tailor made to our requirements. Very comfortable and friendly places to stay, seamless transition of luggage and great directions and information.

Wonderful Wall walking

We walked Hadrian's Wall from Wallsend to Carlisle with four children (13, 11, 10 and 6) and enjoyed every step! The fabulous views were met with equally fabulous B&Bs and hosts.

Great Walk on the Wall

My wife and I walked Hadrian's Wall from Bowness to Wallsend. It was a fantastic experience and one we will remember.

We chose Mickledore at random, however we could not have made a better choice. Their input was the difference between a good walk and a great walk.

A great adventure

In difficult weather conditions, our party of four began our walking holiday with wonderful support from Mickledore travel. There Was constant contact with the company guiding us and checking all was safe for our daily journeys. We did have to adapt our original holiday plans and were supported throughout by Mickledore.

Fully supportive of all our needs as clients

Mickledore Travel responded to this review on 02 Apr 2018:

We are so pleased that you were able to undertake your walk and stay in all of the accommodations as planned despite the snow. Although you had to make a few changes to the daily itinerary, as a result of the weather, we are pleased that this did not impact on your enjoyment at all. We hope that you will return for another walk, maybe in slightly warmer conditions, in the not too distant future!
