South Downs Way

My wife and I walked the South Downs Way from Amberley to Eastbourne, about 60 miles, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The views all along the Downs were magnificent, but the section over the Seven Sisters is exceptionally stunning. Highly recommended.

My wife and I used Mickledore Travel of Keswick to book our walking holiday, we have now used them three times, and as usual their arrangements were perfect. We would advise anyone planning a walking, or cycling, holiday to look no further than the Mickledore website.

Northern part of The South Downs WaySo

In early February we walked the Northern part of The South Downs Way. We had lots of rain and missed a lot of beautiful views. The trip was very well organized and the bed and breakfast were as always very good. Despite the wet weather we greatly enjoyed. We look forward to the second part of the trail.

Thank you for your feedback, I'm pleased you had such a good time despite the weather which was typical of the time of year. Unfortunately this is the only thing we cant book for you! I'm pleased to hear that you will be back to walk the second half of the trail and we look forward to arranging this for you.

Perfect!!

We walked the South Downs Way with Mickledore and as usual everything ran extremely smoothly. We were very happy with the service we received from them from our initial enquiry through to the end of our holiday.

This is the fourth year we have used Mickledore to assist us with our Annual Walking holiday. We will be booking a holiday next year. We have always found them to be extremely helpful, provide excellent information on our walks and have been responsive to any questions or concerns we have had over the four years.

The South Downs Way- FFFF ( Fabulous For Females over Forty)

I am a keen walker from Norway . I have always been walking in the Norwegian mountains , but now I am totally in love with walking Britain. The South Downs Way from Winchester forest and beautiful bluebells , landscape opens up more and more until we reached the magic coastline and The Seven Sisters. Friendly and charming people! I have already ordered my next walking holiday!
