Wonderful Wall walking

We walked Hadrian's Wall from Wallsend to Carlisle with four children (13, 11, 10 and 6) and enjoyed every step! The fabulous views were met with equally fabulous B&Bs and hosts.

Great Walk on the Wall

My wife and I walked Hadrian's Wall from Bowness to Wallsend. It was a fantastic experience and one we will remember.

We chose Mickledore at random, however we could not have made a better choice. Their input was the difference between a good walk and a great walk.

A great adventure

In difficult weather conditions, our party of four began our walking holiday with wonderful support from Mickledore travel. There Was constant contact with the company guiding us and checking all was safe for our daily journeys. We did have to adapt our original holiday plans and were supported throughout by Mickledore.

Fully supportive of all our needs as clients

Mickledore Travel responded to this review on 02 Apr 2018:

We are so pleased that you were able to undertake your walk and stay in all of the accommodations as planned despite the snow. Although you had to make a few changes to the daily itinerary, as a result of the weather, we are pleased that this did not impact on your enjoyment at all. We hope that you will return for another walk, maybe in slightly warmer conditions, in the not too distant future!

Experiencing Roman History

We thoroughly enjoyed our Hadrian's Wall walking experience. The views were amazing, so much space and fresh air. An amazing opportunity to stop off at Vindolanda and explore and experience history. Each evening we came off the track to a different B&B and our bgas were there so we didn't have to carry more than a day pack. We had great maps and directions so the path was easy to follow if not always easy walking!

We were supplied with great maps and directions and the pick up and delivery of our bags from each stoppoff point worked perfectly. The B&Bs we stayed in were all very good and quite different.

Excellent

Mickledore organised our Hadrian's Wall walk for us in early October. This included details such as a list of all cash points on the route to booking lovely B & B's and transporting our luggage. We had nothing to do except enjoy ourselves; which we did! One of us has a severe gluten allergy but all the B & B's were informed in advance, which really helped us enjoy our holiday. We will definitely book with Mickledore again.

Fantastic holiday experience

Myself and a friend walked Hadrian's Wall in September 2017 over a period of 7 days walking. The experience was amazing; the weather was kind to us and the views, the history, the people we met and the hospitality of the B&B's throughout our trip was all fantastic. It was literally the trip of a lifetime.

Myself and a friend booked a walking trip of Hadrian's Wall through Mickledore and from start to finish the experience of using this company was superb. Their communications were efficient and timely, the guidebooks, maps and additional information supplied for the trip was exceptional and the price was extremely reasonable. We heard from both other walkers and from B&B owners that Mickledore are a great company to deal with and that the level of service they provide is one of the best, if not the best. We would certainly agree with that and would have no hesitation in recommending them and using them again ourselves.

It is lovely to hear that you and your friend enjoyed your walk. We spend a lot of time finding the best accommodations available along our routes and it is great that you enjoyed your overnight stops along the path with our friendly hosts.

Very well organised, nice accomodation througout, nice, uncomplicated contact with Mickledore Walking.

Walking (Hadrian's Wall Highlights) and we enjoyed it very much. Everything was very well organised in advance and we were able to do this interesting walk with just our day packs. This meant we could concentrate on enjoying the great countryside and POIs on the way.

This was our first holiday with Mickledore Walking (Hadrian's Wall Highlights) and we enjoyed it very much. Everything was very well organised in advance and we were able to do this interesting walk with just our day packs. The pickup service worked very well and we stayed in nice B & Bs and guesthouses throughout. We can highly recommend Mickledore Walking and are looking forward very much to our next walk booked with them.

We had chosen to walk the entire length, but to make it enjoyable decided to go for 9 days of walking. All the accomodation, baggage transfers each day and odd taxi pickups went according to plan. It gave us a memorable holiday and the bonus that Mickledore had ensured that our dog (red setter) was welcomed at all our stops, something I think that would have been impossible or at least very difficult it we had tried to book it ourselves.

We had chosen to walk the entire length, but to make it enjoyable decided to go for 9 days of walking. All the accomodation, baggage transfers each day and odd taxi pickups went according to plan. It gave us a memorable holiday and the bonus that Mickledore had ensured that our dog (red setter) was welcomed at all our stops, something I think that would have been impossible or at least very difficult it we had tried to book it ourselves. The daily mileage was well planned so we had plenty of time to enjoy the museums and scenery in the middle where the wall and countryside is most attractive. We were surprised by the number of people walking the wall, the most we have encountered on any route we've done, so BandB's must be at a premium in the height of the season. The map information supplied by Mickledore was great, especially a small book by Trailblazer whose annotated route drawings were so accurate they removed the need for any other map. Though to be fair to the Hadrian's Wall ranger service the wall is extremely well signed. Certainly extremely happy with Mickledore and would use them again without a doubt.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore responded quickly and efficiently to all the enquiries we had. Their planning was perfect, all fell into place and so gave us a really relaxing time. We did change some planned pick ups to be earlier and this was put in place again with no problems. All the staff and the places they booked were excellent.
