Wonderful Coast2Coast (West) Walk

Impressively mountaneous scenery; varied landscape. Positive attitude and atmosphere amongs walkers and B&B hosts. Nice B&Bs and warm welcomes.

Rating for tour operator:

I like the challenge of walking and discovering beautiful new places, but not so much the challenge of organizing it all -> Mickledore takes care of that in a clear, pleasant and high-quality approach.

Fantastic Walking Holiday...with more to come !

Part 1 of the Coast to Coast path, from the west coast to the east coast of England. Whereas Part 2 will follow next year, Part 1 is worth walking in its own right, and I am very pleased I have selected the same tour operator for Part 2. great walking, good accommodation, plentiful recommendations for evening meals and contact numbers for emergency support if so required.

Rating for tour operator:

Very courteous over the telephone when making stage payments towards paying off the holiday. Excellent details of holiday sent to me shortly after the holiday was paid off, enabling me to prepare for the holiday and add to its enjoyment. Part 2 of the walk is already booked with the same operator and I will certainly recommend and book further holidays with this operator in the coming years.

A well organised and very enjoyable holiday

A great coast to coast walk well organised. Good accommodation, breakfasts either good or excellent, overall food and drink were an unexpected highlight of the trip.

Mickledore were well organised and responsive. I have only put good because I have not experienced other operators, they may well have been excellent.

Coast to Coast July - August 2018

My father in law, a walking veteran of some 60 years, said this was the most beautiful walk of his lifetime. He was not lying.

My second walk arranged by Mickledore and I couldn't be happier. Co-walkers experienced botched bookings and problems with hotels. I didn't have a single issue. The B&Bs were always acceptable-good standard, some were spectacular. I could concentrate on my walking and had no worries in the world.

Coast to Coast in the sun

As with many people this summer, the Coast to Coast in 16 days was a wonderful trip. Our accommodation was great, the walking and scenery was first class, enhanced by the fact we had no rain and the people we met provided great company, several of whom we have kept in touch with.

Rating for tour operator:

We have used Mickledore several times before and never been disappointed. I enquired about the C2C quite late and Mickledore went the extra mile (a walking pun there) to arrange things and arrange alternative accommodation and transfers where the usual places weren't available.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore Travel were recommended to me so I had few expectations. I also knew next to nothing about the coast2coast route or a walking holiday. The folk at MT have been excellent, helping me choose and get setup for a walking event that incorporates 13 different overnight stays and transport. Everything went off like clockwork. MT also provided excellent documents, a handy book with all the details for my travels, maps and a C2C book. They also.have a great app for the phone which I used everyday. Lastly, any question I asked via the phone or email were very promptly answered. Can't fault MT in any way, would definitely use them again and recommend them to my friends.

Everything was goed arranged. If we go back it is with Mickeldore again, it was fine we could book the holiday in our language wat makes its easier to understand.

Our wonderful Coast to Coast walk

We walked Wainwright's coast to coast 192 miles in June. The weather was exceedingly kind to us with sunshine and dry days throughout. The scenery was stunning and exceeded our expectations. We particularly loved Swaledale. I must have taken over 1000 photos along the way.

Mickledore delivered a superbly organised walking holiday. Everything ran to perfection, from the Sherpa van transport of our bags, and our drop off in St Bees to start the walk and pick up in Robin hood's Bay.Parking our car in the Sherpa van compound worked really well for us too. All the B&Bs were of a very high standard and many had baths! Mickledore listened to what we wanted in terms of mileage each day and devised an excellent itinerary. This was our second experience of the company and we will definitely book with them again.

The experience of a lifetime

Two weeks walking Coast to Coast from St Bees to Robin Hoods Bay was the best experience and a real challenge. I loved how our fitness levels improved day by day.

Two weeks walking Coast to Coast from St Bees to Robin Hoods Bay was the best experience and a real challenge. I loved how our fitness levels improved day by day. The camaraderie of fellow walkers and the welcome from our overnight hosts at accommodation along the way made it special too. Everything to make our day easy was organised - starting with a hearty breakfast and to get us on our way packed lunches. Drying rooms to sort out our wet gear and comfortable ensuite rooms, meant that we could relax and enjoy our route planning, all the details were taken care of. Luggage always got to where it was meant to be and on time. Mickledore picked some great B&B's and small Inns, which would have meant a lot of research if I tried to find similar myself. When I needed to call the office someone was there to help. Loved every minute of the holiday even the rain and sore feet!

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore are an experience walking tour holiday company based in the English Lake District. They have many years experience of what walkers need and provide different options for walks in England over different lengths of days depending on how much time you can spend walking. In short they know their stuff.
