A unique experience

Hadiran's Wall Path
Thanks to your organization, our walk went very well. We were even lucky enough to have very little rain & mud. The B&B's were good, with 2 stand-outs: Langleigh Guest House in Carlisle, and Hunter Crook Lodge, in Twice Brewed. They were both exceptional. Lucky for us we had 2-3 nights in each. Langleigh had fabulous rooms, wonderful hosts & outstanding breakfasts. Hunter Crook also had very nice rooms, made better by country views ...
Thanks to your organization, our walk went very well. We were even lucky enough to have very little rain & mud. The B&B's were good, with 2 stand-outs: Langleigh Guest House in Carlisle, and Hunter Crook Lodge, in Twice Brewed. They were both exceptional. Lucky for us we had 2-3 nights in each. Langleigh had fabulous rooms, wonderful hosts & outstanding breakfasts. Hunter Crook also had very nice rooms, made better by country views outside the window, along with all manner of animals. The rooster really wanted to check out our room! The hosts were delightful. Julie did some laundry for us, and unexpected bonus. The food was do die for. The other B&B's were very good, but these two stood out. The walk was as we expected, with a bit of challenge in the middle. We had a wonderful time. One of our group had the Henry Stedman guidebook: Hadrian's Wall Path, 4th edition, 2014. Although it goes the other way, we found it much more useful than the Cicerone guide. The maps were in sketch form, and had landmarks that were easy to recognize & follow. The daily written descriptions in both books were good. The booklet we got with the B&B names & instructions were fine. We all thought the maps showing the location of the B&B were useless. They were much too small to make sense of. I would like to have had daily walking distances added to the outline. I can not fathom why Mickledore will not allow one person to book a lunch. It makes absolutely no sense to me, or anyone else in our group. As it turned out, there was only one day where we couldn't access a pub for lunch. When we arrived in Tynemouth, the directions to the B&B seemed wrong. We couldn't find a cobble street, and we ended up in the wrong section of town. Some kind person, mowing his lawn, helped us out. Street names & compass directions may help. Overall, a very good trip.

Mickledore is a good company. The tour ran smoothly, with no hiccups.
Thank you for your review. It is great to hear that you enjoyed your walk and all of our accommodation choices but I'm sorry to hear that you found the directions to the accommodations were not clear. Your feedback is very important to us and we will of course review these.
We hope that you will allow us to book another holiday for you very soon.

Really Well Organised Walking Holiday
We walked from Newcastle to Bowness on Solway, along Hadrians Wall, and the trip was organised by Mickledore travel. It all went so smoothly, that our group of 6 didn't have to worry about anything. All B&Bs were ready for us, and all really lovely, the luggage was transported each day, and always arrived in the right place. The only thing that Mickeldore couldn't help us with was the weather, but even that was quite good. Would travel with ...

Mickeldore arranged a wonderful holiday. The first night accommodation was changed at the last minute, and they contacted us all to let us know. Excellent service!
Thank you for your feedback and we are glad to hear that the last minute change was not a problem at all. We do try our best to avoid these situations but occasionally something happens that is beyond our control meaning a change has to be made. In these rare instances we work hard to make sure the impact is minimal. With regards to the weather, I'd like to say we organised this too but I'm afraid we cant take credit!





Fabulous experience
7 of us walked 63 miles of Hadrians Wall. We were very lucky with the weather, and stayed in some wonderful B&Bs along the way. The scenery, particularly on the Eastern part of the wall, is breathtaking and the history extremely interesting and captivating.

Mickledore were tremendous at every stage. They were extremely helpful in advising all 7 of us, even agreeing to take payment from each of us separately. The B&Bs were excellent (the owners all also acknowledged that Mickledore are the best!), the information pack was comprehensive and any problems were easily resolved.
Thank you for your feedback. It really is a challenge when you are the leader of a group so we do our best to make things easy for you to organise everyone. Its great to hear that you enjoyed this fascinating walk and I hope you enjoy your next one as much.





Hadrian's Wall Hike 2017: We Came (Venimus), We Saw (Vedimus), We Walked (Ambulavimus)
It was a wonderful 3 days hiking along the central section of Hadrian's Wall. It was the fulfillment of a 40 year dream I had held.

Mickledore's arrangements were spot on. After a full day of walking, it was a delight to enjoy the wonderful accommodations Mickledore had arranged.
Its great to hear that we helped your dream become reality after 40 years and that the walk and our organisation lived up to your expectations. Please don't leave it 40 years until you book another walk with us!

A wonderful experience
We walked the 'Coast to Coast' Hadrian's Wall over 9 days and loved every minute. Mickledore had made very careful arrangements to find us the best accommodation for our holiday. Our luggage was always collected efficiently and was always there on our arrival at the next guest house. It was a seemless holiday from the arrangements for parking our car to collection at the end of the journey. Mickledore kept us informed of any minor changes ...

Our luggage was always collected efficiently and was always there on our arrival at the next guest house. It was a seemless holiday from the arrangements for parking our car to collection at the end of the journey. Mickledore kept us informed of any minor changes and provided clear information about any diversions they were aware of. In particular the maps, guidebooks and detailed information about our hosts, how to get there and where we could eat in the evening was clear and straight forward. The personalised booklet with all information for us was especially valuable and detailed.

A Great Hadrian's Wall Walk.
After a week in London we walked the Hadrian's Wall Path from Newcastle to Bowness-on-Solway. This was a great experience. Each section of the walk had its own delights including the initial urban and industrial landscapes of Newcastle and the beautiful lonely landscapes of the Solway at the end of the path. Middle sections over country and the high crags was a tougher on the legs but a real scenery knockout. The heritage of the wall is amazing.

We used Mickledore Travel to organise a walk across England following Hadrian's Wall. The walk went smoothly with well chosen B&Bs, baggage transfer and map directions. This was a great experience and we were very appreciative of their efficient service. It was our second walking holiday in Britain and Mickledore did not disappoint. We would use this company again.
Thank you for your feedback, Hadrian's Wall and its history are truly fascinating and I'm pleased to hear you had a good time and were happy with our service.I hope that you will choose us for your third walking holiday in the UK!
