Coast to Coast-an amazing experience

We challenged ourselves to walk the 200 miles from St Bees to Robin Hoods Bay. We saw beautiful mountains, hiked through amazing dales and tramped over miles of moorland. The camaraderie among fellow walkers was unforgettable and the generosity of local people along the the way was outstanding.

Mickledore are knowledgeable and reliable. They gave us excellent advice in setting up the holiday and were on hand throughout for any support we needed. Mickledore supplied excellent maps, walk notes and suggestions for evening meals in the pack.

Western half of Coast to Coast

Solo walker completed this part of national trail with baggage transfer. Fortunately weather was good and no significant problems encountered.

Breathtaking.

We thoroughly enjoyed each day of walking, despite the wet start. Our accommodation was excellent and and we met so many lovely walkers along the way.

Wonderful scenerie, friendliy encounters, perfect service

Over ten years ago I had read an article about the Coast to Coast Walk and had always intended to walk it one day. After years of family holidays, this year was the year. And I am so happy that I dared to do this hike alone in 12 days. The walk is some of the most beautiful things I have done in my life. I was just happy to walk through this wonderfully beautiful landscape, to soak up the impressions. I will think back for a long time to this ...

I was very well informed about everything by Mickledore or I could find the information on the website. When I had questions, they were answered quickly.

Great Coast to Coast experience

Just completed our sixth Mickledore holiday along the second half of the Coast to Coast trail. Some challenging days walking but there were often easier options available if required. Accomodation was varied given the nature of the route and the remoteness of some stops, but all provided good, clean rooms, hot showers/baths and a cheery welcome. Scenery ranged from farmland to rolling hills to high moorland and, eventually, the coast. Lots of ...

Mickledore organisation was first class from start to finish. Staff are professional, helpful and courteous, and it is obvious that they know their holidays and understand the needs of different walkers. All the holiday arrangements ran smoothly and we would be more than happy to use Mickledore again.

Walking the coast to coast - a longtime ambition finally fulfilled

I've always wanted to walk Wainright's coast to coast route but could only afford the time after finishing work so it was great to undertake this walk at long last. It's everything it's cracked up to be and unsurprising that it attracts visitors from across the world. It is quite a challenge and you do have to prepare for it in advance but what might seem quite daunting before you begin quickly starts to feel pretty manageable. I have to say ...

I've always wanted to walk Wainright's coast to coast route but could only afford the time after finishing work so it was great to undertake this walk at long last. It's everything it's cracked up to be and unsurprising that it attracts visitors from across the world. It is quite a challenge and you do have to prepare for it in advance but what might seem quite daunting before you begin quickly starts to feel pretty manageable. I have to say that the weather helped me - not many "C2C" walkers can claim to have covered the whole route and encountered less than an hour's rain and that on the final approach to Robin Hood's Bay! It's provided me with some great memories and an incentive to take on other great walks.

Rating for tour operator:

I've undertaken several walking holidays organised by Mickledore before but always no longer than a week but the coast to coast walk was going to be two weeks. Mickledore advised me on the best time to book, organised all my accommodation and the daily transfer of my luggage. The holiday was everything I expected, and all the arrangements worked pretty much exactly as planned thanks to Mickledore's friendly and efficient service. The only reason I had to contact them was to make a contingency plan at quite short notice for getting home in the event of a rail strike and they even managed to do this for me. I will definitely look to use them whem planning my next walking holiday.

Marvellous Mickledore

We had a 14 day self guided walking holiday in northern England. We were lucky with the weather but these can be physically tiring holidays and you need all the rather complex arrangements of having different accommodation every night and baggage transfers to go right. Mickledore's arrangements all worked well and they were on hand when anything went awry.

Mickledore's arrangements were comprehensive, they communicated everything clearly and in time without over-doing email communication and they were quickly on hand when anything went wrong.

EXCELLENT HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE

I ARRANGED THE COAST TO COAST WALK WITH MICKLEDORE THE INFORMATION BEFORE DURING AND AFTER WAS EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE AND WELL PLANNED. THE ACCOMMODATION PROVIDED WAS OF A HIGH STANDARD AND THE BAG TRANSPORT SERVICE I COULD NOT FAULT. THE HOLIDAY WAS EXCELLENT AND WILL DEFINITELY BE USING THEIR SERVICE AGAIN. 👍

Coast to Coast Brilliance

We walked the Coast to Coast route with Mickledore in September/October 2021. The logistics, accommodation & service provided by Mickledore were brilliant, leaving us with "just" the task of walking the 190 miles. We would highly recommend Mickledore for UK walking holidays having also previously used them for Hadrian's Wall.
