Northumberland Coast Path Traveller Reviews

My husband and I walked the Northumberland Coast Walk with Mickledore begin June. Everything was well organised : the B&b's, the luggage transfer, the information pack,...

mickledore is an excellent organiser of walking holidays.

My wife and I have just enjoyed a week walking the Northumberland Coast Path where all the route planning and accommodation were excellent

The holiday was found and booked for us at short notice with the minimum of fuss. We received a quantity of verbal and written advice which meant the whole holiday went without a hitch

My husband and I walked the Northumberland coastal path over 5 days. The weather was mixed but we thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. Taking in the breathtaking views and historic castles along the way. Mickledore arranged for our baggage to be moved on from place to place which meant that we could enjoy our days walking. All the B and Bs were great, obviously differing in style, but all the breakfasts and packed lunches were really good. we are now planning to do the coast to coast next year to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary:)

Everything went to plan and the organisation was second to none. Thanks mickledore.

A great walk from Creswell to Berwick along the beautiful Northumberland coast. Few hills, not surprisingly, and a varied walk with a good supply of cafes and pubs to help us along. Days ranged up to 13 miles and had plenty of time to visit the castles along the route.

A great walk made possible by the service that Mickledore provided. They booked B&B accommodation for the week and arranged luggage transfer each day. That way we didn't have to carry more than a day bag and had great places to stay where we wanted on the walk.Easy directions to each B&B were provided. We took an extra day in Seahouses to visit the Farne Islands - the birds, especially puffins, made this an excellent decision.

Blessed with good weather we arrived in Morpeth looking forward to our weeks walking the Northumberland coastal path. Accommodation from our start point in Morpeth until Berwick was either good or excellent. The walk itself was enjoyable but not spectacular, some of the coastal views were stunning but rather too many golf courses to contend with and caravan sites. Walking over to Holy Island was a challenge as there were far to many cars sharing the route. We did see a seal close up and a rewarding pub lunch was enjoyed. On another day we saw a red squirrel. The route was badly signed and at times you had to rely on the guidebook. It is not a challenging walk and the daily distances averaged around 12 miles.

This is our second holiday with Mickledore, the first was the South Downs Way, and have no hesitation in recommending them.

Last year we walked the wall. Some of the legs where to long for us. And the weather was very wet. But we did it somehow. Sometimes we was not able to find the right path. The marking has an improvement. This year we walked from Wessex to Berwick upon Tweed. Walking along the east cost was fantastic. And the weather was sunny and nice. We had a grate tour. Above all we experienced a part of UK we did not know. Small cities and pleasant atmosphere. B&B are magnificent to stay in. Nice and caring people who really do their best to make your stay an experience to remember. Personally I would like to have more time to talk with people finding out how life is in UK. It is different from Norway in many ways.

We had good maps and the tour directions where mostly accurate and it was easy to find the right path. To find the place to spend the night was not so easy all the time. Remember, we are foreigners and we have not been at those places before. Well, we made it by asking local people. Some directions could have been more accurate. But we are, all over, content with the tour operator. And nothing in the world is perfect. We are now thinking about Wales or the Hebrides. Time will show what we will do. We can, however, absolutely recommend this kind of holly day to everyone.

I walked the Northumberland Coastal Trail solo using Mickledore. It was booked the day before I started and they made sure that maps and guide were delivered. The coastal trail is a lovely walk that includes some stunning scenery. If I did this again, I would include a visit to Holy Island, and stay an extra day near the Causeway.

Their service and choice of accommodation is excellent, and I will be booking with them again.
