Fabulous experience

7 of us walked 63 miles of Hadrians Wall. We were very lucky with the weather, and stayed in some wonderful B&Bs along the way. The scenery, particularly on the Eastern part of the wall, is breathtaking and the history extremely interesting and captivating.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore were tremendous at every stage. They were extremely helpful in advising all 7 of us, even agreeing to take payment from each of us separately. The B&Bs were excellent (the owners all also acknowledged that Mickledore are the best!), the information pack was comprehensive and any problems were easily resolved.

Hadrian's Wall Hike 2017: We Came (Venimus), We Saw (Vedimus), We Walked (Ambulavimus)

It was a wonderful 3 days hiking along the central section of Hadrian's Wall. It was the fulfillment of a 40 year dream I had held.

Mickledore's arrangements were spot on. After a full day of walking, it was a delight to enjoy the wonderful accommodations Mickledore had arranged.

A wonderful experience

We walked the 'Coast to Coast' Hadrian's Wall over 9 days and loved every minute. Mickledore had made very careful arrangements to find us the best accommodation for our holiday. Our luggage was always collected efficiently and was always there on our arrival at the next guest house. It was a seemless holiday from the arrangements for parking our car to collection at the end of the journey. Mickledore kept us informed of any minor changes ...

We walked the 'Coast to Coast' Hadrian's Wall over 9 days and loved every minute. Mickledore had made very careful arrangements to find us the best accommodation for our holiday. Our luggage was always collected efficiently and was always there on our arrival at the next guest house. It was a seemless holiday from the arrangements for parking our car to collection at the end of the journey. Mickledore kept us informed of any minor changes and provided clear information about any diversions they were aware of. In particular the maps, guidebooks and detailed information about our hosts, how to get there and where we could eat in the evening was clear and straight forward. The personalised booklet with all information for us was especially valuable and detailed.

A Great Hadrian's Wall Walk.

After a week in London we walked the Hadrian's Wall Path from Newcastle to Bowness-on-Solway. This was a great experience. Each section of the walk had its own delights including the initial urban and industrial landscapes of Newcastle and the beautiful lonely landscapes of the Solway at the end of the path. Middle sections over country and the high crags was a tougher on the legs but a real scenery knockout. The heritage of the wall is amazing.

We used Mickledore Travel to organise a walk across England following Hadrian's Wall. The walk went smoothly with well chosen B&Bs, baggage transfer and map directions. This was a great experience and we were very appreciative of their efficient service. It was our second walking holiday in Britain and Mickledore did not disappoint. We would use this company again.

Superb walk along Hadrian's Wall

Very well organised with excellent accommodation throughout. Comprehensive walking notes ensured we got the most out of what must be one of the most fascinating and underrated active holidays in Britain

So well organised that we had no occasion to contact them for advice or help. Will use Mikledore again.

We are pleased to hear that everything ran like clockwork leaving you with no need to contact us. Although we love to talk to our customers I'm glad that you didn't have to think about us while you were enjoying the walk. It really is a fascinating route.

The Company was well organized and responsive (even at short notice) to my questions and requests. They supplied me with useful and good quality maps and guides. The overnight accommodation which they selected for me was a very high standard, and I was very pleased overall.
