West Highland Way by Shenanigan, 28 Oct 2023
Holiday Rating:

Excellent organisation allowed us to think only of walking and soaking up the scenery.

We walked the west Highland Way in September 2023. The organisation and quality of accommodation was top class. We had a wonderful time. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Mickledore arranged the accommodation and transportation of our luggage. All the information provided was detailed and invaluable. Maps and guide books were easy to follow. I believe they thought of everything.

No fuss Adventure

We live in the US and love hiking in the UK. Mickeldore provide us with enough options to keep the two of us (one longtime hiker and one new to the game) challenged, deliriously happy and not arguing. What more could one want from a vacation?

Rating for tour operator:

We didn't't have a "tour operator" per se. It was just the two of us hiking from lodging to lodging, (booked by Mickeldore) using their maps and other support materials.

St Cuthberts Way by Walkieguys, 25 Oct 2023

ANOTHER AMAZING WALKING HOLIDAY

We walked St Cuthberts Way from Melrose in the Scottish Borders to Holy Island. A holiday that was both energetic and relaxing plus full of amazing scenery and interesting ancient buildings.

Hadrian's Wall by Debbie J, 24 Oct 2023
Holiday Rating:

How to make a 84 mile walk pleasurable!

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.

Fabulous

Hiked from St Bees to Kirkby Stephens with luggage hauled from one B&B to the next. Welcoming hosts, beautiful scenery, and excellent maps so we never got lost

Coast to Coast by NickB, 18 Oct 2023

Coasting coast to coast: A memorable experience

Our Coast to Coast experience was the perfect holiday, walking through a variety of landscapes, picturesque villages and visiting historic sights. Following in Wainwright's footsteps, we enjoyed every part of this walk, from the challenging climbs (and weather) in the Lake District, the beauty of the Pennines, through to the stark and misty North Yorkshire moors. Having waited a year to do this walk it did not disappoint.

Mickeldore was our tour operator and provided an outstanding experience. Their level of organisation ensured everything went smoothly - the accommodation, transport of bags and provision of all necessary information to guide the walk. They repliesd promptly to all our enquiries and were flexible in their scheduling, fitting in with the pace at which we wanted to complete the journey.

Cumbria Way by Belle on the fells, 11 Oct 2023

A rain soaked few days on the Best of the Cumbria Way

The hope had been a few glorious autumn days, soaking up the beautiful colours and revelling in the fresh air on the middle part of the Cumbria Way. The reality was two days of non-stop rain, paths that were streams, streams that were raging torrents and gloomy black mountains all around. Having said that, we had such fun. We knew each night we would have a comfortable, dry and warm hotel room to go back to and that our main luggage would be ...

Very efficient. Emails were responded to swiftly, the information pack provided was extremely helpful and the accommodation we were booked into was clean and comfortable. Everything was organised very well, meaning a stress free holiday. All we had to do was turn up.

Hadrian's Wall by regorselwonk, 9 Oct 2023

Perfect walking the Hadrian's Wall trail

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
